Sweetcorn Pancakes Recipes

SWEETCORN PANCAKES

Steps:

• First turn the grill on high. If using fresh corn, remove the husk and slice the kernels from the cob with a large sharp knife, then cook them in a pan of boiling water for 5 minutes. Drain and leave to cool while you whisk the eggs, milk and butter together. Whisk in the flour and a large pinch of salt until smooth, then mix in the corn (fresh or canned) and the spring onions.
• Put the tomatoes cut-side up on a large baking tray, drizzle with olive oil and season with salt and pepper. Lay the bacon next to the tomatoes in a single file on the tray. Grill for 8-10 minutes until the tomatoes have softened and the bacon is crispy, turning the rashers over at half time.
• While the bacon's crisping up, heat the sunflower oil in a large frying pan. Add 4 large spoonfuls of the batter and fry for 1-2 minutes on each side until the pancakes are puffed up and golden. Lift out on to a plate lined with kitchen paper and cook the remaining 4 pancakes. Bring to the table with a bottle of chilli sauce.

CORN PANCAKES

Steps:

• In bowl, whisk together 1/2 cup flour, 3/4 teaspoon coarse salt, 1 large egg, and 1/3 cup milk just until combined; fold in 2 cups corn kernels.
• Heat 2 tablespoons canola oil in large skillet over medium heat; working in two batches, drop scant 1/4 cups of batter into skillet. Flatten slightly; cook until browned, 3 to 4 minutes per side. Add more oil if needed. Serve immediately.

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.

FRESH CORN PANCAKES

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.

CORNMEAL PANCAKES

Steps:

• Combine the first five ingredients. In another bowl, whisk eggs, milk and oil; stir into dry ingredients just until moistened. Pour batter by 1/4 cupfuls onto a lightly greased hot griddle. Turn when bubbles on top begin to pop; cook until second side is golden brown. Serve with syrup.

SWEET CORN PANCAKES

Steps:

• combine 1 cup milk, butter, and corn in small saucepan over medium heat. When the butter has melted, remove the pan from the heat and let the mixture cool to lukewarm.
• Sift dry ingredients onto waxed paper.
• In large bowl, beat the eggs until they are well mixed. Add the milk mixture, then gently stir the flour mixture, mixing until it is moistened and thoroughly combined.
• Add remaining milk if the batter is thicker than cake batter.
• Brush large heavy skillet or griddle with the oil, and place it over medium-high heat.
• When a drop of water sizzles in the pan, pour the batter, 1/4 cup for each pancake into the skillet.
• Cook the cakes until bubbles cover the surface and begin to burst, 2 to 3 minutes.
• Flip the cakes and cook for about 30 seconds on the other side.
