Ingredients

  • 1/4 cup coarse yellow cornmeal
  • 1 cup water
  • 3 tablespoons unsalted butter
  • 3/4 cup flour
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon baking soda
  • 2 eggs, lightly beaten
  • 1/2 cup milk
  • 1/4 cup sour cream
  • 2 tablespoons maple syrup
  • 1/2 cup fresh corn kernels

Directions

  1. Combine the cornmeal and water in a small saucepan and cook, stirring over medium heat, until thick and porridge-like, about 3 minutes.

  2. Then add in the butter and stir until smooth.

  3. Set mixture aside to cool slightly.

  4. In a bowl, combine the flour, salt, baking powder, and baking soda; mix well.

  5. Stir the eggs, milk, sour cream, and maple syrup into the cooled cornmeal mixture; then gently fold in the flour mixture and the corn; stir thoroughly.

  6. Lightly grease a griddle and place it over medium heat; drop the batter by tablespoons onto the hot griddle and cook until the edges of the pancakes are dry, the tops are bubbling, and the undersides are golden, 1 minutes; turn and cook 1 minute on the other side.

  7. Serve immediately.
