Ingredients

For syrup:

2 cups apple juice
1/2 cup apple jelly
3-inch cinnamon stick

For griddlecakes:

1 cup all-purpose flour
1/2 cup cornmeal
3 tablespoons sugar
2 teaspoons baking powder
1 teaspoon baking soda
1/8 teaspoon salt
1/3 cup dried currants
1 1/4 cups plain yogurt
2 large eggs
1/2 stick unsalted butter, melted

Preparation

  1. Make syrup:

    Step 1

    Boil syrup ingredients in a large saucepan until reduced to 3/4 cup.

  2. Make griddlecakes:

    Step 2

    Whisk together flour, cornmeal, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt in a large bowl, then stir in currants. Stir together yogurt and eggs with a fork in another bowl and stir into flour mixture with melted butter just until incorporated.

    Step 3

    Heat a lightly greased large nonstick skillet over moderately low heat until hot. Pour 1/4-cup measures of batter into skillet in batches, forming 3 1/2-inch cakes, and cook about 3 minutes, or until undersides are golden. Turn and cook 1 minute more, or until golden. Transfer to a baking sheet and keep warm in a 250°F oven while cooking remaining cakes.

    Step 4

    Serve griddlecakes with warm syrup.
