Ingredients

• 1 cup cornmeal
• 1 cup all-purpose flour
• 1 tablespoon baking powder
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
• 2 large eggs
• 1 1/2 cups milk
• 1/4 cup melted butter
• 1 cup fresh or frozen corn kernels
• 2 green onions, finely chopped

How to Make Savory Corn Pancakes

1. In a large bowl, whisk together the cornmeal, flour, baking powder, salt, and black pepper until well combined.
2. In a separate bowl, beat the eggs and then mix in the milk and melted butter.
3. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir until just combined. Be careful not to overmix; a few lumps are okay.
4. Gently fold in the corn kernels and chopped green onions.
5. Heat a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat and lightly grease with cooking spray or a little extra butter.
6. Pour about 1/4 cup of batter onto the skillet for each pancake. Cook until bubbles form on the surface, about 3-4 minutes, then flip and cook for another 2-3 minutes until golden brown.
7. Transfer the pancakes to a plate and keep warm while you repeat with the remaining batter.
8. Serve hot with your favorite toppings.

Tips for the Best Results

• Ensure your baking powder is fresh for optimal fluffiness.
• Don’t overmix the batter; it should be slightly lumpy for the best texture.
• Adjust the heat as necessary; if the pancakes brown too quickly, lower the heat slightly.

Easy Variations

• Add diced jalapeños for a spicy kick.
• Mix in shredded cheese for a cheesy version.
• Incorporate herbs like cilantro or parsley for a fresh twist.

What to Serve With It

• A dollop of sour cream or Greek yogurt.
• Fresh salsa or avocado slices.
• A side of crispy bacon or sausage links.
• A fresh salad for a lighter option.
