- ⅓ cup buttermilk
- 4 whole eggs
- 1 whole egg yolk
- orange zest
Combine the eggs and egg yolk with the buttermilk; add grated orange zest and the vanilla and blend together.
- Mexican vanilla
- 1 cup flour
- 1 cup sugar
- ¾ cup cornmeal
- ½ tsp salt
- 1½ tsp baking powder
In the bowl of an electric mixer combine the flour, sugar, cornmeal, salt and baking powder; mix until thoroughly combined.
- 1¾ stick soft butter
Add the wet mixture; when homogenous, add the soft butter one piece at a time and beat a full three minutes until light and fluffy.
- butter and flour for the pan
Scrape into a pan that has been buttered and floured with a buttered and floured piece of parchment in the bottom; smooth the top.
Toast slices on the grill; it takes a little smoky flavor but mostly toasts and brings out the cornmeal flavor.
