Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 0.5 cup cornmeal
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 1 tablespoon granulated sugar
- 1 cup milk
- 1 large egg
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
- 1 cup sweet corn kernels (fresh, frozen, or canned)
- 1 tablespoon vegetable oil or butter (for cooking)
Instructions
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, cornmeal, baking powder, salt, and sugar until well combined.
In a separate bowl, whisk together milk, egg, and melted butter until smooth.
Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and gently mix until just combined. Be careful not to overmix; some lumps are okay.
Fold in the sweet corn kernels, evenly distributing them throughout the batter.
Heat a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat and lightly grease the surface with vegetable oil or butter.
Scoop 1/4 cup of batter onto the skillet for each pancake, spreading lightly with the back of the spoon to form a circle.
Cook for 2-3 minutes, or until bubbles start to form on the surface and the edges look set. Flip the pancake and cook for another 1-2 minutes, or until golden brown and cooked through.
Remove pancakes from the skillet and keep them warm. Repeat with the remaining batter.
Serve warm with a drizzle of honey, syrup, or a dollop of sour cream, if desired. Optionally, garnish with fresh herbs or a side of fresh fruit.
