Ingredients

• 1 cup Cornmeal
• 0.5 cup All-purpose flour
• 1 tablespoon Baking powder
• 0.5 teaspoon Garlic powder
• 0.5 teaspoon Onion powder
• 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
• 1 Large egg
• 2 tablespoons Unsalted butter, melted
• 1 cup Skim milk
• 1 cup Fresh corn kernels
• 2 tablespoons Chopped fresh chives
• 1 as needed Cooking spray

Directions

Step 1

In a large mixing bowl, combine cornmeal, all-purpose flour, baking powder, garlic powder, onion powder, and black pepper.

Step 2

In a separate bowl, beat the egg and then whisk in melted unsalted butter and skim milk until well combined.

Step 3

Add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients, stirring until just combined.

Step 4

Fold in the fresh corn kernels and chopped chives to distribute evenly through the batter.

Step 5

Lightly coat a large non-stick skillet or griddle with cooking spray and heat over medium heat.

Step 6

Scoop about 1/4 cup of batter for each corn cake onto the skillet. Cook for 2-3 minutes, or until bubbles form on the surface and the edges look set.

Step 7

Flip the cakes and cook for an additional 2-3 minutes until golden brown and cooked through.

Step 8

Repeat with the remaining batter, adding more cooking spray to the skillet as needed.

Step 9

Serve warm, optionally garnished with additional chopped chives or a dollop of low-sodium yogurt.
