Ingredients
- 1 cup All-purpose flour
- 0.5 cup Cornmeal
- 1 tablespoon Sugar
- 2 teaspoons Baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 1 cup Milk
- 1 large Egg
- 2 tablespoons Unsalted butter (melted)
- 1 cup Fresh or canned corn kernels
- 2 tablespoons Vegetable oil or butter (for cooking)
Directions
Step 1
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, cornmeal, sugar, baking powder, and salt until well combined.
Step 2
In a separate bowl, whisk together the milk, egg, and melted butter until smooth.
Step 3
Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir until just combined. Do not overmix; a few lumps are fine.
Step 4
Gently fold in the corn kernels, making sure they are evenly distributed throughout the batter.
Step 5
Heat a large non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat and add a small amount of vegetable oil or butter to coat the surface lightly.
Step 6
Scoop approximately 1/4 cup of batter onto the skillet for each griddle cake. Spread the batter slightly to form a round shape, if necessary.
Step 7
Cook the griddle cakes for 2-3 minutes, or until small bubbles appear on the surface and the edges begin to set. Carefully flip and cook for an additional 2 minutes, or until golden brown and cooked through.
Step 8
Transfer cooked griddle cakes to a plate and keep warm. Repeat with the remaining batter, adding more oil or butter to the skillet as needed.
Step 9
Serve the corn griddle cakes warm with butter, syrup, sour cream, or salsa, depending on your preference. Enjoy!
