To make these savory corn pancakes, you will need the following ingredients:

• 1 cup cornmeal
• 1 cup all-purpose flour
• 2 tablespoons baking powder
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 2 large eggs
• 1 cup milk
• 1/4 cup melted butter or vegetable oil
• 1 cup corn kernels (fresh, frozen, or canned, drained)
• 1/2 cup finely chopped green onions (optional)

How to Make Savory Corn Pancakes

Follow these simple steps to create your savory corn pancakes:

1. In a large mixing bowl, combine the cornmeal, flour, baking powder, and salt. Whisk until well blended.
2. In a separate bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, and melted butter or oil until smooth.
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 green onions (if using) until evenly distributed.
5. Heat a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat and lightly grease with butter or oil.
6. Pour about 1/4 cup of batter onto the skillet for each pancake. Cook for 3-4 minutes, or until bubbles form on the surface and the edges look set.
7. Flip the pancakes and cook for an additional 2-3 minutes, or until golden brown and cooked through.
8. Remove from the skillet and keep warm while you repeat with the remaining batter.

Tips for the Best Results

To ensure your savory corn pancakes turn out perfectly, keep these tips in mind:

• Use fresh corn for the best flavor, but frozen or canned corn will work too.
• Don’t overmix the batter; it should be slightly lumpy for the best texture.
• Adjust the heat as needed to prevent burning while ensuring the pancakes cook through.
• For extra flavor, consider adding spices like paprika or cumin to the batter.

Easy Variations

Feel free to experiment with these fun variations:

• Mix in shredded cheese for a cheesy twist.
• Add diced jalapeños for a spicy kick.
• Incorporate herbs like cilantro or parsley for added freshness.
• Serve with a dollop of sour cream or yogurt on top.

What to Serve With It

These savory corn pancakes pair wonderfully with:

• Fresh avocado slices or guacamole
• Scrambled eggs or a fried egg on top
• Greek yogurt or sour cream
• Fresh salsa or pico de gallo

Storage and Reheating

Leftover pancakes can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. To reheat, simply pop them in the toaster or warm them in a skillet over low heat until heated through.
