Ingredients
Main Ingredients
- 1 cup sweet corn (fresh or canned)
- 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
- 1/2 cup mozzarella cheese (shredded)
- 1/4 cup milk
- 1 egg
- 1 tablespoon sugar
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- Salt to taste
- Oil for frying
Instructions
- Prepare the batter: In a mixing bowl, combine the sweet corn, all-purpose flour, shredded mozzarella cheese, milk, egg, sugar, baking powder, and a pinch of salt. Stir the ingredients thoroughly until you achieve a smooth batter with all components well incorporated.
- Heat the oil: Place a frying pan on the stovetop and heat a sufficient amount of oil over medium heat, ensuring the oil is hot enough to fry but not smoking.
- Form the pancakes: Use a spoon to drop spoonfuls of the batter carefully into the hot oil, and gently flatten each portion slightly to form pancake shapes of about 3-4 inches in diameter.
- Fry the pancakes: Cook the pancakes for 2-3 minutes until the bottoms turn golden brown and crispy. Carefully flip each pancake and fry the other side for an additional 2-3 minutes until fully cooked and browned.
- Drain excess oil: Remove the cooked pancakes from the pan and place them on paper towels or kitchen napkins to drain any excess oil and maintain crispiness.
- Serve warm: Serve the sweet corn pancakes immediately while warm, optionally accompanied by your favorite toppings such as sour cream, honey, or fresh herbs.
Notes
- You can use fresh or canned sweet corn depending on availability.
- For a crispier texture, use a little more oil for frying.
- Adjust the sugar level to suit your taste preferences.
- Serve with savory dips or sweet sauces for variety.
- Ensure the oil is at proper frying temperature to avoid greasy pancakes.
