Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups Fresh corn kernels
- 0.5 cups Whole wheat flour
- 0.5 cups Cornmeal
- 1 teaspoon Baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 1 cup Skim milk
- 2 large Egg white
- 1 tablespoon Honey
- 2 tablespoons Chopped fresh chives
- Nonstick cooking spray
Instructions
In a large mixing bowl, combine the whole wheat flour, cornmeal, baking powder, and salt. Mix well to ensure even distribution of the dry ingredients.
In a separate bowl, whisk together skim milk, egg whites, and honey until well combined and slightly frothy.
Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients, stirring gently until just combined. Be careful not to overmix, as this could make the batter tough.
Fold in the fresh corn kernels and chopped chives, making sure they are evenly distributed throughout the batter.
Heat a large nonstick skillet over medium heat and lightly coat with nonstick cooking spray.
Spoon heaping tablespoons of the batter onto the skillet, flattening slightly with the back of the spoon to form small cakes.
Cook the corn cakes for 2-3 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and cooked through.
Transfer the cooked corn cakes to a plate and cover them with a clean kitchen towel to keep them warm while you repeat with the remaining batter.
Serve warm, garnished with additional chives if desired.
