Steps:
- Whisk together the flour, baking powder, sugar and 1 teaspoon salt in a medium bowl. Pulse the corn in a blender until almost smooth, leaving some visible kernels, then add the milk and puree until smooth. Transfer the corn mixture to a bowl and whisk in the butter and egg. Pour the egg mixture into the flour mixture and stir until well blended. Let the batter rest for 30 minutes.
- While the batter rests, pulse the ham in a food processor until finely chopped. Transfer the ham to a bowl and add the mayonnaise, onions, lemon juice, paprika, celery and 1/2 teaspoon each salt and pepper.
- Heat a griddle or heavy nonstick skillet over medium heat until hot, then lightly coat with nonstick cooking spray. Working in batches, pour 1 teaspoon batter per pancake onto the griddle and cook until bubbles appear on the surface and the undersides are golden, 1 to 2 minutes. Flip the pancakes with a spatula and cook until the undersides are golden brown, about 1 minute more. (Reduce the heat if the pancakes brown too quickly.) Lightly coat the griddle with cooking spray between batches, if necessary.
- To serve, top the warm pancakes with 1 teaspoon ham salad and garnish with a parsley or celery leaf.

HAM AND CORN CHOWDER
My mother is an excellent cook who rarely follows a recipe exactly. My two sisters and I do the same thing, adding something here, omitting something there. With this soup, I sometimes leave out the bacon and butter, and have used canned corn and creamed corn with good results. We like to eat this soup with big soft hot pretzels instead of crackers. -Sharon Rose Brand, Stayton, Oregon

Tips:
- Choose fresh and high-quality ingredients: Use ripe and sweet corn, tender ham, crisp celery and red onion. Fresh herbs like parsley and chives add a burst of flavor.
- Cook the corn properly: Boiling the corn for 5-7 minutes preserves its sweetness and crunch. Alternatively, grill or roast the corn for a smoky flavor.
- Dice the ham and vegetables evenly: This ensures even cooking and distribution of flavors throughout the salad.
- Use a flavorful dressing: A simple vinaigrette made with olive oil, vinegar, Dijon mustard and honey is a classic choice. For a tangy dressing, add a splash of lemon juice or apple cider vinegar.
- Add optional ingredients for extra flavor: Chopped hard-boiled eggs, crumbled bacon, shredded cheese, or diced avocado can add extra texture and flavor to the salad.
- Chill the salad before serving: This allows the flavors to meld and the salad to become more refreshing.
