FRESH CORN PANCAKES

Time 45m

Yield 20 to 22 pancakes

Number Of Ingredients 15

1 cup fine yellow cornmeal, such as Quaker
1/2 cup stone-ground cornmeal, such as Bob's Red Mill
1/2 cup all-purpose flour
2 teaspoons sugar
2 teaspoons baking powder
1 teaspoon baking soda
Kosher salt
1 3/4 cups buttermilk, shaken
6 tablespoons (3/4 stick) unsalted butter, melted
2 extra-large eggs
1/2 teaspoon Sriracha
3 cups fresh corn kernels (4 ears) (see Cook's Note)
3 tablespoons minced fresh chives, plus extra for serving
1 1/2 tablespoons seeded, minced jalapeno pepper
8 tablespoons (1 stick) clarified butter, for frying (see Cook's note)

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.

Yield Makes 4 (make about 12 pancakes) servings

Number Of Ingredients 9

1 cup all-purpose flour
4 teaspoons baking powder
1 tablespoon sugar
3 to 4 ears corn
3/4 cup whole milk
2 large eggs
2 tablespoons vegetable oil
1 stick unsalted butter, melted and cooled
Accompaniment: pure maple syrup, or salsa and sour cream

Steps:

  • Whisk together flour, baking powder, sugar, and 1 teaspoon salt in a medium bowl.
  • Cut enough kernels from cobs to measure 2 cups. Using back of a knife, scrape pulp from cobs and transfer to a blender with milk and 1/2 cup corn. Purée until smooth, then strain through a sieve into another medium bowl, pressing on and then discarding solids. Whisk in eggs, oil, and butter.
  • Add to flour mixture with remaining 1 1/2 cups corn and whisk until just combined.
  • Heat a griddle or heavy skillet over medium heat until hot, then lightly brush with oil. Working in batches, pour 1/3 cup batter per pancake onto griddle and cook until bubbles appear on surface and undersides are golden-brown, about 2 minutes. Flip with a spatula and cook until undersides are golden-brown, about 1 minute more. (Reduce heat if pancakes brown too quickly.) Lightly oil griddle between batches if necessary.

Categories     side-dish

Yield 4 corn pancakes

Number Of Ingredients 5

2 ears fresh corn
2 tablespoons masa harina
Pinch kosher salt
1 teaspoon canola oil
1/4 pound Venezuelan cheese, sliced (Queso blanco, mozzarella, or feta can be substituted)

Steps:

  • Scrape corn kernels from the cobs; run the back of your knife along the cob to extract all the corn liquid. Put corn into a food processor and pulse a few times to break up the kernels. Add masa harina and salt and pulse to incorporate. Heat the oil in a nonstick skillet over medium low heat. Divide the mixture into 4 and make 4 corn cakes. Cover and let the cakes cook for 5 minutes. Uncover the pan and carefully flip the cachapas over. Press on them with a spatula to flatten them a bit. Cook, covered, for another 5 minutes. Uncover and cook for about 5 more minutes; they should be a dark golden brown. Top with the cheese and cover until the cheese has melted. Serve immediately.

LOIS DODD'S FRESH CORN AND BLUEBERRY PANCAKES

Provided by Leslie Land

Categories     appetizer, dessert

Time 45m

Yield Four to six servings, about 20 three-and-one-half-inch cakes

Number Of Ingredients 10

1/2 cup stone-ground yellow cornmeal
1 cup milk
1/4 to 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon Bakewell Cream (see note)
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1/4 teaspoon salt
2 ears fresh corn, enough to make 1 1/2 to 2 cups prepared
2 eggs
2 tablespoons melted butter, plus butter for the griddle
1 heaping cup fresh wild blueberries

Steps:

  • Combine the cornmeal and milk and set aside. In a large bowl, combine a quarter cup of flour with the remaining dry ingredients and stir with a wire whisk until thoroughly blended. Set aside.
  • Slice the corn kernels from the cobs, keeping the knife perpendicular so only the tips are removed. Then scrape the cobs with the back of the knife to get all the juice and kernel hearts.
  • Grind the corn in a blender until it is the texture of lumpy slush, then add the eggs and melted butter. Blend in the cornmeal and milk mixture.
  • Put the griddle over low heat, then gradually increase the temperature until the heat is medium-high and the griddle is very hot.
  • While the griddle is heating, add the blender contents to the flour mixture and stir just enough to barely blend. Stir in the blueberries.
  • Lightly grease the griddle and ladle out a test cake, using about two tablespoons of batter and holding it close to the pan as you pour. It should spread without running around loose. Cook a bit longer than a conventional pancake, until the surface is moist but not wet, about three minutes. Then turn and cook the other side. If the cake is runny or impossible to turn, stir a bit more flour into the batter.
  • Make the remaining cakes, using a scant quarter cup of batter for each. Stir with the ladle as you dip into the batter to keep the berries in suspension. Serve at once with maple syrup and butter or as an accompaniment to smoked or grilled chicken.

Tips:

  • Use fresh corn kernels for the best flavor and texture.
  • If you don't have fresh corn kernels, you can use frozen or canned corn kernels, but be sure to drain them well before using.
  • Be sure to let the batter rest for at least 5 minutes before cooking the pancakes. This will help the gluten in the flour to relax, resulting in lighter and fluffier pancakes.
  • Cook the pancakes over medium heat. This will help to prevent them from burning.
  • Serve the pancakes immediately with your favorite toppings, such as butter, syrup, or fruit.

Conclusion:

Fresh corn pancakes are a delicious and easy-to-make breakfast or brunch dish. They are perfect for using up fresh corn in the summer, and they can be easily customized to your liking. With a few simple ingredients and a little bit of time, you can enjoy a stack of hot, fluffy corn pancakes that are sure to please everyone at the table.
