- Cook Time: 20 minutes
- Prep Time: 25 minutes
- Total Time: 45 minutes
- Servings: 16 pancakes
Ingredients:
- 1/2 cup yellow cornmeal
- 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
- 2 tablespoons sugar
- 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1 cup corn kernels
- 1 cup buttermilk
- 2 eggs
- 2 tablespoons butter
Instructions:
-
In a large mixing bowl, sift together the cornmeal, all-purpose flour, sugar, baking soda, and salt. This ensures a smooth texture for your batter.
-
Add the corn kernels to the dry ingredients and toss them gently to coat them evenly. This step ensures that the corn is distributed throughout the batter.
-
In a smaller bowl, combine the buttermilk, eggs, and melted butter. Whisk the ingredients together until they are well blended. This mixture adds richness and moisture to the pancakes.
-
Pour the buttermilk mixture into the dry ingredients and stir until just blended. Be careful not to overmix the batter; a few lumps are okay. Overmixing can result in tough pancakes.
-
Heat a large nonstick skillet or griddle over medium heat. Brush the surface with a thin film of vegetable oil or spray it with cooking spray to prevent sticking.
-
Once the skillet is hot, pour 1/4 cup of batter onto the heated surface for each pancake. Lower the heat to medium-low to ensure even cooking.
-
Cook the pancakes until the tops are covered with small bubbles and the bottoms are lightly browned. This usually takes about 2-3 minutes.
-
Carefully flip the pancakes using a spatula and cook the other side until it is lightly browned, about 1-2 minutes.
-
Once cooked, transfer the pancakes to a plate and keep them warm until ready to serve.
-
Serve the sweet corn cakes warm, topped with your favorite toppings such as maple syrup, powdered sugar, or fresh berries. These pancakes are best enjoyed immediately while they’re still hot and fluffy.
These Sweet Corn Cakes are sure to become a family favorite, perfect for lazy weekend mornings or special brunch occasions. Enjoy the delicious flavors of sweet corn in every bite! 🌽🥞
