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

    Step 1

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

  2. Make griddlecakes:

    Step 2
