CORN AND JALAPENO GRIDDLE CAKES



Corn and Jalapeno Griddle Cakes image

On the outside these look like pancakes. One bite, and you'll see they're far from ordinary. Flecked with bits of crisp corn and jalapeno pepper, these griddle cakes are the answer to breakfast, lunch or even dinner. We suggest using grilled or roasted corn, but thawed frozen kernels work well in a pinch.

Provided by Jennifer Perillo

Time 25m

Yield 12 griddle cakes

Number Of Ingredients 10

1 cup all-purpose flour
1/2 cup yellow cornmeal
2 teaspoons baking powder
1 teaspoon sugar
1/4 teaspoon salt
1 1/4 cups whole or 2-percent milk
1 tablespoon butter, melted, plus more for greasing the pan
1 egg
1 1/2 cups cooked corn kernels (from 2 small ears)
1 small jalapeno pepper, seeded and chopped fine

Steps:

  • In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, cornmeal, baking powder, sugar and salt. In a small bowl or measuring cup, use a fork to lightly beat the milk, melted butter and egg. Pour the milk mixture over the flour mixture. Add the corn and jalapeno. Use a fork to stir until just mixed and there are no visible traces of flour.
  • Heat a 10-inch skillet over medium-low heat. Sprinkle a few drops of water into the skillet--if they "dance" across it, the skillet is ready. Add a pat of butter and swirl to coat. Drop scant 1/4 cupfuls of batter into the skillet, leaving 1 to 2 inches between each cake. Cook until set around the edges and air bubbles form on top, about 2 minutes. Flip and cook 1 to 2 more minutes. Serve hot.
  • Love Your Leftovers: Store remaining griddle cakes in a ziptop bag in the fridge for up to 2 days, or the freezer for up to 1 month. Heat them in a toaster (no need to thaw frozen ones) when ready to eat.

Corn and Cheese Griddle Cakes (Arepas) image

These little Venezuelan griddle cakes, known as arepas in Spanish, can be eaten at any time of the day, topped with cheese, meat, chicken, or eggs. You can top them with roast pork or a spoonful of pico de gallo as a delicious side or tempting appetizer. You use nonstick cooking spray quite a bit for this, but I like to use an olive oil spritzer. Enjoy!

3/4 cup yellow cornmeal

Flatten slightly and cook until golden brown, about 3 minutes. Spray the griddle cakes with nonstick spray and turn.

FRESH CORN CAKES



Fresh Corn Cakes image

Corn's always been the basis of my favorite recipes-in fact, these corn cakes were one of the first things I made for my husband. For dinner, they're nice with fresh fruit salad and ham. They're also great with breakfast sausage and orange juice. Tom works for the highway department on Mount Hood, and we live at its base. Our children are 19, 16 and 13.

Nutrition Facts :

Tips:

  • Use fresh corn. Fresh corn has a sweeter flavor and more nutrients than frozen or canned corn. If you don't have fresh corn, you can use frozen or canned corn, but be sure to drain it well before using.
  • Don't overmix the batter. Overmixing the batter will make the griddle cakes tough. Mix just until the ingredients are combined.
  • Cook the griddle cakes over medium heat. Medium heat will help the griddle cakes cook evenly without burning.
  • Flip the griddle cakes carefully. Griddle cakes are delicate, so be careful when flipping them. Use a spatula that is wide enough to support the entire griddle cake.
  • Serve the griddle cakes immediately. Griddle cakes are best served hot off the griddle. You can serve them with butter, syrup, or your favorite fruit.

Corn griddle cakes with sausage are a delicious and easy-to-make breakfast or brunch dish. They're perfect for a lazy weekend morning or a special occasion.
