CORN-AND-JALAPENO PANCAKES WITH TOMATO SALSA

Steps:

• Bring a saucepan three-fourths full of lightly salted water to a boil. Add the corn kernels and cook for 1 minute. Drain, place in a large bowl, and let cool. Add the jalapenos, garlic, bell pepper, and green onions and mix well. Set aside. In a food processor fitted with the metal blade, combine the eggs, flour, cornmeal, baking powder, 1 teaspoon salt and the lime juice. Pulse a few times to mix. Add the milk and pulse a few more times to form a smooth batter. Add to the corn mixture and stir to mix. Season to taste with more salt, if needed, and pepper. Let stand at room temperature for 30 minutes. In a large frying pan over medium heat, warm 2 tablespoons of the oil. Working in batches, spoon the batter into the pan to form pancakes about 3 inches in diameter; do not crowd the pan. Cook, turning once, until golden brown on both sides, 5-6 minutes total. usin a slotted spatula, transfer to paper towels to drain. Repeat with the remaining batter, adding oil as needed to prevent sticking. Place the pancakes on a platter or individual plates and top with the sour cream and salsa. Serve at once.
