Corn Pancakes (?)

Never heard of such an animal but my husband has.  So I guess they do exist.  Supposedly, my father-in-law used to make these all the time (before I came into my husband's life!).  I've heard of buttermilk pancakes, blueberry pancakes (yum!!!), potato pancakes, buckwheat pancakes and even cornmeal pancakes but never corn pancakes.  So . . . off to the Internet I went.  And guess what I found . . . a recipe for corn pancakes.  And, who else would have a recipe for corn pancakes but none other than Ms. Martha Stewart herself!!

So this recipe comes to you from good ole Martha!  The beauty of this recipe is that it is so easy to make!! 

Corn Pancakes by Martha Stewart

Ingredients

1/2 cup flour
3/4 tsp coarse salt (I used sea salt)
1 large egg
1/3 cup milk
2 cups corn kernels (I used canned corn and drained it)
2 Tsp canola oil

Directions

Drain the canned corn and set aside

In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, salt, egg, and milk until just combined
Fold in the corn kernels.

Heat the 2 tablespoons of canola oil in a large skillet over medium heat.   Drop a scant 1/4 cup of batter into skillet.  Flatten slightly with back of spatula.
Cook until brown - roughly 3 to 4 minutes per side, and flip to cook the other side.  Add more oil if needed.


Serve immediately.  According to my husband, you eat this like "regular" pancakes with syrup and butter.  I tasted a small piece - not bad!  Now to see what my husband thinks!
