Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups fresh corn kernels
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 0.5 cup cornmeal
- 1 tablespoon baking powder
- 1 tablespoon sugar
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 2 large eggs
- 1 cup whole milk
- 3 tablespoons butter, melted
- 2 tablespoons green onions, chopped
- 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
Instructions
In a large bowl, combine the flour, cornmeal, baking powder, sugar, and salt. Mix well to evenly distribute the dry ingredients.
In another bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, and melted butter until well combined.
Gradually add the wet mixture to the dry ingredients, stirring gently until just combined. Do not overmix.
Fold in the corn kernels and chopped green onions to the batter.
Heat a tablespoon of vegetable oil in a large non-stick skillet over medium heat.
Spoon approximately 1/4 cup of batter for each corn cake onto the skillet, spacing them apart.
Cook the corn cakes for about 3-4 minutes on each side, or until they are golden brown and cooked through.
Transfer the cooked corn cakes to a plate and keep warm. Repeat with the remaining batter, adding more oil to the skillet as needed.
Serve the corn cakes hot as a delightful appetizer or side dish, paired with your choice of toppings like sour cream or salsa.
