Description

Delicious corn pancakes that can be served with various toppings.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 cups corn (fresh, canned, or frozen, drained)
  • 1/4 cup milk
  • 1 tablespoon sugar
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 12 tablespoons cornmeal (optional, to thicken if needed)
  • 1 tablespoon butter or oil (for frying)
  • 4 ounces queso de mano or mozzarella (sliced for filling)

Instructions

  1. Add corn, milk, sugar, and salt into a blender or food processor. Blend until mostly smooth with small chunks remaining.
  2. If the batter is too thin, mix in 1–2 tablespoons of cornmeal and let rest for 5 minutes.
  3. Heat a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat. Add a little butter or oil.
  4. Pour batter into the skillet and shape into a circle (about 5–6 inches wide).
  5. Cook for 3–4 minutes on one side, until golden and crisp. Flip carefully.
  6. Add cheese to one half of the pancake while the second side cooks.
  7. Once cheese melts slightly, fold the pancake over like a taco.
  8. Transfer to a plate and serve warm with optional toppings like sour cream or avocado.

Notes

  • For best results, use fresh corn if available.
  • These pancakes can be served with various toppings like salsa or guacamole.
