Ready your griddle. These pancakes capture the golden sweetness of corn cut from the cob. Drizzle warm maple syrup on them for breakfast or serve them as a side dish with salsa and sour cream. View more of our favorite recipes from this issue.
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 4 teaspoons baking powder
- 1 tablespoon sugar
- 3 to 4 ears corn
- 3/4 cup whole milk
- 2 large eggs
- 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
- 1 stick unsalted butter, melted and cooled
-
Accompaniment:
pure maple syrup, or salsa and sour cream
-
Whisk together flour, baking powder, sugar, and 1 tsp 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.
