SAVORY PEPITA PAN DE ELOTE (MEXICAN CORNBREAD) WITH CHARRED POBLANO BUTTER RECIPE BY TASTY
Inspired by the classic Mexican sweet treat pan de elote, this cornbread is vastly different from traditional American cornbread, with its fluffy, cake-like texture that is normally very sweet and light. This gluten-free, savory version of pan de elote is studded with toasted pepitas (pumpkin seeds) for added texture and excitement. In a non-traditional twist, this holiday side is served with a smoky, salty, buttery spread made from charred poblano peppers and salty Cotija cheese.

Steps:
- Make the charred poblano butter: Preheat the oven to 450˚F (230˚C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or aluminum foil.
- Place the poblanos on the prepared baking sheet, spacing evenly. Roast the peppers, using tongs to rotate every 10 minutes, until the peppers are well-charred and browned all over, about 30 minutes total. Immediately transfer the poblanos to a medium bowl and cover with plastic wrap. Let the peppers steam for 10-15 minutes to loosen the skins.
- Remove a pepper from the bowl and re-cover the remaining peppers. Use your hands (wear gloves if you have sensitive skin) to peel off the charred skin and discard, along with the seeds. Place the pepper flesh into a separate bowl and repeat with the remaining peppers. Do not rinse the peppers to remove the seeds or skin; it will wash away that charred flavor. Let the peppers cool.
- Transfer the poblanos to a food processor, along with the butter, Cotija cheese, cilantro, salt, lime zest, and lime juice. Process on high speed until completely smooth. Season with more salt and lime juice to taste if needed, then transfer to an airtight container and cover. Set aside at room temperature if using the same day, or refrigerate for up to 2 weeks.
- Make the pepita pan de elote: Reduce the oven temperature 350˚F (180˚C). Line an 8-inch round cake pan with parchment paper and grease with nonstick spray.
- Add the corn kernels and crema Mexicana to a food processor and process on high speed until creamy, yet chunky in texture, about 30 seconds.
- In a medium bowl, whisk together the masa harina, baking powder, and salt.
- In a large bowl, use an electric hand mixer on high speed to cream the butter until soft, about 30 seconds. Add the sugar and egg yolks and continue beating until fluffy, about 1 minute. Add the corn mixture and beat to combine. Add the dry ingredients and mix on low speed until just combined, then mix in the pepitas until just incorporated.
- In a separate medium bowl, use the hand mixer with clean, dry beaters to whip the egg whites until they hold stiff, glossy peaks, 1-2 minutes.
- Add about ¼ of the egg whites at a time to the corn batter and gently fold with a rubber spatula, taking care not to deflate the egg whites, until just incorporated.
- Pour the batter into the prepared pan and use a spatula to smooth the top.
- Bake the pan de elote for about 40 minutes, until a wooden toothpick inserted into the center of the cake comes out clean and the edges of the cake are golden brown. Remove from the oven and let cool completely.
- Serve the pepita pan de elote with the charred poblano butter alongside.
- Enjoy!

Tips:
- Use fresh corn kernels for the best flavor. If you don't have fresh corn, you can use frozen or canned corn, but the flavor will be less pronounced.
- Be sure to drain the corn kernels well before adding them to the batter. This will help prevent the bread from being too wet.
- If you don't have buttermilk, you can make your own by adding 1 tablespoon of lemon juice or vinegar to 1 cup of milk. Let it sit for 5 minutes before using.
- Don't overmix the batter. Overmixing will make the bread tough.
- Bake the bread in a preheated oven. This will help the bread rise evenly.
- Let the bread cool for a few minutes before slicing and serving. This will help prevent the bread from crumbling.
Conclusion:
Pan de elote is a delicious and easy-to-make bread that is perfect for any occasion. It is a great way to use up fresh corn and is a popular side dish in many Latin American countries. With its slightly sweet flavor and moist texture, pan de elote is sure to be a hit with your family and friends.
