Sweet Corn Cakes Ingredients

Method

Sweet Corn Cakes Directions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Batter

    In a large mixing bowl, combine the fresh corn kernels, all-purpose flour, cornmeal, baking powder, sugar, salt, and chili powder. Mix well.

  2. 2

    Mix Wet Ingredients

    In another bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, and melted butter until well combined.

  3. 3

    Combine Mixtures

    Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and mix until just combined. Fold in the chopped green onions. Add black pepper to taste.

  4. 4

    Cook the Cakes

    Heat a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat. Lightly grease with butter or cooking spray. Pour about 1/4 cup of batter for each cake onto the skillet, cooking until bubbles form on the surface, about 3-4 minutes. Flip and cook for another 2-3 minutes until golden brown.

  5. 5

    Serve

    Remove the cakes from the skillet and keep warm. Repeat with remaining batter. Serve warm with your favorite toppings.
