Ingredients

• 1 cup all-purpose flour
• 1.5 teaspoons baking powder
• 0.25 teaspoon salt
• 0.25 teaspoon ground black pepper
• 0.75 cup milk
• 1 large egg
• 2 tablespoons unsalted butter (melted)
• 0.75 cup sweet corn kernels (canned or fresh)
• 0.5 cup cheddar cheese (grated)
• 2 stalks spring onion (finely chopped)
• 2 tablespoons fresh parsley (chopped)
• 2 tablespoons vegetable oil or butter (for frying)

Directions

Step 1

In a large mixing bowl, sift together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, salt, and ground black pepper.

Step 2

In a separate bowl, whisk together the milk, egg, and melted butter until well combined.

Step 3

Pour the wet ingredients into the bowl with the dry ingredients and gently mix until a smooth, lump-free batter forms.

Step 4

Fold in the sweet corn kernels, grated cheddar cheese, chopped spring onions, and parsley until evenly distributed throughout the batter.

Step 5

Heat a large non-stick skillet or frying pan over medium heat and lightly grease it with vegetable oil or butter.

Step 6

Spoon 2 tablespoons of the batter onto the pan to form small pikelets. Depending on the size of your pan, you can cook multiple pikelets at a time. Leave space between each one.

Step 7

Cook for 2-3 minutes or until bubbles start to form on the surface and the bottom is golden brown. Flip the pikelets and cook for another 2 minutes until cooked through and golden.

Step 8

Repeat with the remaining batter, adding more oil or butter to the pan as needed.

Step 9

Serve the savoury corn pikelets warm with your choice of toppings such as sour cream, avocado, or a crisp green salad. Enjoy!
