Provided by Trisha Yearwood

Categories     side-dish

Time 25m

Yield 6 pancakes

Number Of Ingredients 12

1/2 cup all-purpose flour
1/2 cup yellow cornmeal
1 tablespoon sugar
1 tablespoon baking powder
1 teaspoon kosher salt
2 tablespoons unsalted butter, plus extra for cooking corn cakes
1 large egg
1 cup low-fat buttermilk
1/2 cup shredded sharp Cheddar
1/3 cup canned corn, rinsed and drained, optional
1 tablespoon dried chives
Serving suggestions: butter and maple syrup

Steps:

  • Whisk together the flour, cornmeal, sugar, baking powder and salt in a mixing bowl.
  • Melt the butter in a large nonstick skillet over medium heat. Set aside to cool slightly while you prepare the wet ingredients.
  • Whisk together the egg and buttermilk in a large mixing bowl. While whisking, pour in the melted butter and stir until combined. Stir in the dry ingredients just until combined. (Be sure not to overwork the batter.) Fold in the Cheddar, corn, if using, and chives.
  • Place the skillet over medium heat and add enough butter to coat the bottom. Ladle about 1/2 cup batter into the pan, spreading gently to form a thick circle. Cook until bubbles appear on the surface, 1 to 2 minutes. Flip over and cook until golden brown, about 1 to 2 minutes more. Melt a small pat of butter in the skillet in between each batch (this will help the corn cakes rise). Serve immediately, with more butter and maple syrup, if desired.

This is a delicious cornbread! I don't like mine too sweet, so feel free to add more sugar. You can also add chives, jalapenos, scallions, thyme or anything else you desire! Making these as muffins works good too. This is adapted from a recipe in Bon Appetit magazine, Dec. 2002. I am on a mission to get rid of all of my food mags and put the recipes I like on Zaar.
