Ingredients for Fresh Corn Pancakes

• 130g plain flour

• 4 teaspoons baking powder

• 1 tablespoon sugar

How to make Fresh Corn Pancakes

Whisk together flour, baking powder, sugar, and 1 teaspoon salt in a medium bowl.

Cut enough kernels from cobs to measure 475ml . Using back of a knife, scrape pulp from cobs and transfer to a blender with milk and 120ml 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 350ml 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 80ml 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.
