Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup Cornmeal
- 1 cup Whole wheat flour
- 1 tablespoon Baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 1 cup Fresh corn kernels
- 2 large Eggs
- 1 cup Milk
- 2 tablespoons Unsalted butter, melted
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 1 tablespoon Olive oil or cooking spray
Instructions
In a medium-sized bowl, combine the cornmeal, whole wheat flour, baking powder, and salt. Mix well to ensure even distribution of the dry ingredients.
In a separate larger bowl, whisk the eggs thoroughly. Add the milk, melted butter, and vanilla extract. Mix until well combined.
Gradually add the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients, stirring gently until just combined. Be careful not to overmix as this can make the cakes tough.
Fold in the fresh corn kernels, ensuring they are evenly distributed throughout the batter.
Heat a large non-stick skillet over medium heat and lightly grease with olive oil or cooking spray.
Once the skillet is hot, pour about 1/4 cup of the batter for each corn cake onto the skillet. Use the back of a spoon to spread the batter into a round shape, if necessary.
Cook for 2-3 minutes on one side, or until bubbles form on the surface and the edges look set. Flip the cakes over and cook for another 2-3 minutes until golden brown and cooked through.
Remove the corn cakes from the skillet and keep warm. Repeat with the remaining batter, adding more oil to the skillet as needed.
Serve warm, optionally with a topping of your choice like avocado, fresh salsa, or a dollop of plain Greek yogurt.
