Preheat your griddle/ large cast iron frying pan over a low heat. Rub a bit of butter all over it

In a large measuring jug, combine the cornmeal, flour, sugar, bicarb and salt. Make a well in the centre

In a medium measuring jug, pour in the buttermilk. Add the melted butter and stir to combine

Pour the buttermilk/butter mixture and beaten egg into the well in the dry ingredients. Use a rubber spatula to bring the mixture together

Spoon in the jam and swirl it through a little. Don't over-mix, a few lumps of flour is fine

Once the griddle is hot, pour/ladle on approx. 3tbsp/50ml of the mixture into a round shape. Allow the griddle cake to cook for a couple of minutes. When bubbles begin to form and the top begins to dry out around the edges towards the middle, flip over and cook the other side for another minute. Repeat until all the batter is used
