Sweet corn pancakes – the perfect summer treat! These tender, golden brown delights are infused with the sweetness of fresh corn kernels, making them a delicious twist on traditional pancakes.

Ingredients

• 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
• 1/2 cup cornmeal
• 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
• 2 teaspoons baking powder
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 1/4 cup unsalted butter, melted
• 1 cup buttermilk
• 2 large eggs
• 1 cup sweet corn kernels (fresh or frozen, thawed)
• Butter or oil for greasing the pan

Instructions

In a medium bowl, whisk together flour, cornmeal, sugar, baking powder, and salt.

Set aside.

In a large bowl, whisk together melted butter, buttermilk, and eggs.

Add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients and stir until just combined.

Do not overmix.

Fold in sweet corn kernels.

Let the batter rest for 10 minutes.

Heat a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat.

Grease with butter or oil.

Using a 1/4 cup measuring cup, scoop the batter onto the pan.

Cook for 2-3 minutes, until bubbles appear on the surface and the edges start to dry.

Flip and cook for another 1-2 minutes, until golden brown.

Serve warm and enjoy your sweet corn pancakes!

Notes

Make sure to not overmix the batter, as it can lead to tough pancakes.

If using frozen corn, make sure to thaw it first for the best results.

For an extra crispy exterior and fluffy interior, let the batter rest for the full 10 minutes.

You can also chill the batter in the fridge for up to 2 hours or even overnight if you want to prep ahead.

When scooping the batter, fill the measuring cup almost to the top for the best pancake shape.

Don’t overcrowd the pan, cook in batches if necessary, to ensure the pancakes cook evenly.

Experiment with different toppings, like fresh herbs, cheese, or even a dollop of whipped cream, to elevate these sweet corn pancakes!
