Best 9 Cilantro Corn Pancake Recipes

FRESH CORN PANCAKES

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 250 degrees F. Line two sheet pans with parchment paper.
• In a large bowl, stir together the fine and stone-ground cornmeals, the flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and 1 tablespoon salt. In a medium bowl, whisk together the buttermilk, melted butter, eggs, and Sriracha. Stir in the corn, chives, and jalapeno pepper and mix into the dry ingredients with a rubber spatula until moistened. Don't overmix!
• Heat 1 tablespoon of clarified butter in a large (12-inch) saute pan over medium heat until it sizzles. Drop 1/4-cup measures of batter into the pan without crowding them. Press each pancake very lightly with a small metal spatula. Cook for 2 minutes, turn, and cook for 1 1/2 minutes, until both sides are browned and the center of the pancake is firm. Place the pancakes on the prepared sheet pans and keep them warm in the oven while you cook the rest of the batter. Continue making the pancakes, adding more clarified butter to the pan, as needed. Sprinkle with salt and serve warm with a sprinkling of minced chives.

FRESH CORN PANCAKES

Steps:

• Whisk together flour, baking powder, sugar, and 1 teaspoon salt in a medium bowl.
• Cut enough kernels from cobs to measure 2 cups. Using back of a knife, scrape pulp from cobs and transfer to a blender with milk and 1/2 cup corn. Purée until smooth, then strain through a sieve into another medium bowl, pressing on and then discarding solids. Whisk in eggs, oil, and butter.
• Add to flour mixture with remaining 1 1/2 cups corn and whisk until just combined.
• Heat a griddle or heavy skillet over medium heat until hot, then lightly brush with oil. Working in batches, pour 1/3 cup batter per pancake onto griddle and cook until bubbles appear on surface and undersides are golden-brown, about 2 minutes. Flip with a spatula and cook until undersides are golden-brown, about 1 minute more. (Reduce heat if pancakes brown too quickly.) Lightly oil griddle between batches if necessary.

Steps:

• Heat gas or charcoal grill. In small bowl, mix garlic, cilantro and salt.
• Cut two 12-inch square pieces of heavy-duty foil. Spray each ear of corn generously with cooking spray. Spread garlic mixture over each ear of corn. Wrap each ear of corn in foil piece, sealing edges. Allow space for circulation and expansion.
• Cover and grill corn over medium heat 10 to 12 minutes, turning occasionally, until tender.

Steps:

• Heat vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium-low heat. Working in batches, spoon 1/4 cupfuls of batter onto the hot skillet; cook until bubbly on top and golden brown on the bottom, about 3 minutes. Flip and cook until golden on the bottom, 2 to 3 more minutes. Remove to a plate and repeat to make remaining pancakes.

CORN PANCAKES

Steps:

• Cut enough kernels from cobs to measure 2 1/2 cups. In a food processor pulse corn until coarsely chopped and slightly wet. Melt butter and cool. In a bowl whisk together butter, eggs, and milk. Coarsely grate mozzarella and in a large bowl stir together with corn, flour, cornmeal, salt, and pepper. Whisk in egg mixture until combined.
• In a 12-inch nonstick skillet heat 1 tablespoon oil over moderate heat until hot but not smoking. Working in batches, drop 1/8-cup measures of batter into skillet to form pancakes about 2 inches in diameter (do not spread or flatten pancakes) and cook until edges begin to set and undersides are golden brown, about 1 1/2 minutes. Flip pancakes and cook until undersides are golden brown and pancakes are cooked through. Add more oil to skillet as necessary between batches. Pancakes may be made 1 day ahead and chilled, covered. Reheat pancakes in middle of a 350°F. oven until hot, about 15 minutes.

Steps:

• In 2-quart saucepan, heat butter over medium heat until melted. Stir in chiles, onion and garlic; cook and stir until onion is transparent.

LEFTOVER GRILLED CORN PANCAKES

Steps:

• Combine, in a big bowl, the cornmeal, flour, salt, and pepper.
• Throw half the corn into a food processor, with the chile, cilantro, basil, garlic, lime juice, and egg. (You can reserve and hand-chop some of the herbs if you want prettier, green-flecked pancakes. I'm too lazy.) More-or less puree; it need not be perfectly smooth, but you want to release some of the starch from those kernels.
• Stir the pureed mixture and remaining corn into the dry mixture. Heat about 1/4-inch of oil in a skillet and make big pancakes, turning carefully, once. Serve hot, with - if you like - lime wedges and minced chiles.
