Best 5 Cilantro Corn Pancake Recipes

FRESH CORN PANCAKES

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 250 degrees F. Line two sheet pans with parchment paper.
• In a large bowl, stir together the fine and stone-ground cornmeals, the flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and 1 tablespoon salt. In a medium bowl, whisk together the buttermilk, melted butter, eggs, and Sriracha. Stir in the corn, chives, and jalapeno pepper and mix into the dry ingredients with a rubber spatula until moistened. Don't overmix!
• Heat 1 tablespoon of clarified butter in a large (12-inch) saute pan over medium heat until it sizzles. Drop 1/4-cup measures of batter into the pan without crowding them. Press each pancake very lightly with a small metal spatula. Cook for 2 minutes, turn, and cook for 1 1/2 minutes, until both sides are browned and the center of the pancake is firm. Place the pancakes on the prepared sheet pans and keep them warm in the oven while you cook the rest of the batter. Continue making the pancakes, adding more clarified butter to the pan, as needed. Sprinkle with salt and serve warm with a sprinkling of minced chives.

BBQ DUCK-FILLED YELLOW CORN PANCAKES WITH HABANERO SAUCE

Steps:

• Make the yellow pancakes: Combine the cornmeal, flour, baking powder, and salt in a medium bowl. In a separate bowl, combine the egg, milk, honey, and melted butter, then add to the dry ingredients and mix well. Heat a griddle or cast-iron frying pan over high heat, heat a little oil, and drop the batter by spoonfuls to make four 5-inch pancakes. Cook pancakes until brown on both sides and set aside, stack and cover with foil.
• Make the BBQ Duck: Melt the butter in a large saute pan over medium heat. Add the onion and garlic and cook until soft. Add the tomatoes and simmer for 15 minutes. Add the remaining ingredients and simmer for 20 minutes. Puree the mixture in a food processor, pour into a bowl and set aside. Preheat oven to 300 degrees F. Brush the duck legs with the BBQ sauce and place them in a baking pan and pour stock around them. Cover the pan, place in the oven, and cook for 3 hours or until the duck is done. Shred the duck meat and discard the bones. Cook the shredded meat and cilantro with a 1/4 cup of the BBQ braising liquid in a saute pan over medium heat until heated through. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
• Make the habanero sauce: Place all ingredients in a small saucepan., place over medium heat, and reduce to 1 cup. Strain and season with salt and pepper to taste.
• Assemble pancake: Mound a fourth of the duck mixture in the center of each pancake. Fold the pancake over the filling to make a semi-circle and drizzle with the habanero sauce.
