Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup Yellow cornmeal
- 0.5 cup All-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon Baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 1 tablespoon Sugar
- 1 cup Canned corn kernels, drained
- 0.75 cup Unsweetened almond milk
- 1 large Egg
- 2 tablespoons Vegetable oil
- 0.25 cup Chopped green onions
- 2 tablespoons Chopped fresh cilantro
- as needed Oil for frying
Instructions
In a large bowl, whisk together the cornmeal, flour, baking powder, salt, and sugar.
In another bowl, combine the drained canned corn, almond milk, egg, vegetable oil, green onions, and cilantro. Mix well.
Add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients and stir until just combined. Do not overmix.
Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat and add enough oil to coat the bottom of the pan.
Once the oil is hot, drop 2 tablespoons of batter per corn cake into the skillet, spreading slightly to form a pancake shape.
Cook the corn cakes for about 2-3 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and cooked through.
Transfer the cooked corn cakes to a paper towel-lined plate to drain any excess oil.
Repeat with the remaining batter, adding more oil to the skillet as needed.
Serve the corn cakes hot, garnished with additional cilantro or green onions if desired.
