Savory Fresh Corn Pancakes

• 份量: 4 pancakes
• 總時間: 40 minutes

食材

3/4 cup plus 1 tablespoon all-purpose flour

1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder

1 tablespoon white sugar

Kosher salt and ground black pepper

2 large eggs

4 cups corn kernels (from about 5 ears corn)

1 cup buttermilk OR whole milk

3 scallions, thinly sliced OR ½ cup lightly packed fresh cilantro, chopped

1 chipotle chili in adobo sauce, minced, plus 1 teaspoon adobo sauce

8 tablespoons grapeseed or other neutral oil, divided

步驟

In a small bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, sugar, 1 teaspoon salt and ¼ teaspoon pepper. In a large bowl, whisk the eggs, then stir in the corn, buttermilk, scallions and chipotle chili and adobo sauce. Add the dry ingredients and fold until just combined.

In a 12-inch nonstick skillet over medium, heat 2 tablespoons of oil until shimmering. Using a ⅓-cup measuring cup, drop 3 portions of batter, evenly spaced, into the skillet. Use the back of a spoon to spread into 3½- to 4-inch pancakes, then cook until the pancakes are golden brown on the bottoms, 2 to 3 minutes. Using a metal spatula, flip the pancakes and cook until the second sides are golden brown, 2 to 3 minutes; transfer to a wire rack. Wipe out the skillet and heat 2 tablespoons of the remaining oil until shimmering. Cook the remaining batter in the same way, wiping out and adding 2 tablespoons oil to the skillet after each batch.

筆記

Don’t crank up the heat to brown the pancakes more quickly. Steady, medium heat helps ensure that the batter as well as the corn kernels fully cook through by the time the exteriors are nicely browned.
