Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 300 grams Corn kernels
- 120 grams All-purpose flour
- 50 grams Cornmeal
- 1 teaspoons Baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoons Salt
- 1 tablespoons Sugar
- 180 milliliters Milk
- 1 large Egg
- 2 tablespoons Butter (melted)
- 2 tablespoons Vegetable oil (for cooking)
- 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley (chopped, optional)
Instructions
In a large mixing bowl, combine the flour, cornmeal, baking powder, salt, and sugar. Whisk together until evenly distributed.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the milk, egg, and melted butter until combined.
Gradually pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients, stirring gently until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
Fold in the corn kernels and chopped parsley (if using). The batter should be slightly thick but scoopable.
Heat a large skillet or non-stick pan over medium heat and add 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil.
Scoop about 2 tablespoons of batter for each corn cake onto the skillet, flattening slightly with the back of the spoon to form a round shape.
Cook the corn cakes for 3-4 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and cooked through. Repeat with the remaining batter, adding more oil as needed.
Transfer the cooked cakes to a plate lined with paper towels to drain excess oil.
Serve warm with sour cream, salsa, or another dipping sauce of your choice.
