Corn and parsley pancakes

Appetizers - Corn and parsley pancakes by Teea I. - Recipia

Whole corn kernels stay tucked into the blended batter for corn and parsley pancakes, browned in a pan in just a few minutes. Onion and parsley give the mixture a savory, herby flavor, while the texture stays soft and a little uneven. I eat them warm, while the edges are still browned. Prep: 10 minutes. Cook: 18 minutes. Rest: 10-15 minutes. Total time: 38-43 minutes. Serves: 4. Approximately 170 kcal and 6 g protein per serving.

Ingredients

  • 1 can sweet corn (340 g)
  • 70 g flour
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1 g baking soda
  • 20 ml milk
  • 1 small onion (70 g)
  • 1 medium egg
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground pepper
  • 5 g parsley
  • 2 teaspoons olive oil

Preparation

1. Drain the canned corn, rinse it quickly under cold water and pat the kernels dry. Set 50 g aside, and put about 200 g in a food processor. 2. Add the flour, baking powder, baking soda, milk, peeled onion cut into pieces, egg, salt, pepper and parsley. Blend for 2-3 minutes, until you have a smooth batter. 3. Fold in the reserved 50 g of corn with a spoon. Cover the batter and refrigerate for 10-15 minutes. 4. Heat a skillet with the olive oil for 2 minutes over low to medium heat. When the oil shimmers, gently wipe the pan with a paper towel and pour in a small ladleful of batter. 5. Fry the pancakes in batches, about 2-3 minutes per side, around 16 minutes in total, until browned. Transfer them to a plate lined with paper towel.

Notes

I serve them with a tomato and cucumber salad. Stored in a sealed container, they keep for up to 3 days in the refrigerator; warm them briefly in a pan. For a gluten-free version, replace the flour with 70 g of gluten-free flour blend; the batter still contains milk and egg. I time making them to line up with mealtime, since the pancakes are fried in batches. I don't rush the batter's rest in the cold; it thickens a little as it sits.

Frequently asked questions

Can I use frozen corn?

Yes. Let it thaw overnight in the refrigerator, then drain and pat it dry well.

What should I do if the batter runs off the ladle too quickly?

Stir in 1 tablespoon of flour and leave the batter for 5 minutes before continuing.

Can I replace the parsley with dill?

Yes, use 5 g chopped fresh dill instead of the parsley.

When should I flip the first side?

When the edges are no longer glossy, check whether the underside has browned; if the batter still looks raw at the edge, leave it for another 20 seconds.
