Categories: Grilling

Ingredients

  • 2 ears yellow corn in husks
  • 2/3 cup plain yellow cornmeal
  • 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1/4 cup chopped fresh parsley
  • 1 tsp baking powder
  • 1 tsp kosher salt
  • 1 tsp black pepper
  • 2/3 cup whole milk
  • 1/4 cup diced red bell pepper
  • 1 tbsp vegetable oil
  • Herb Buttermilk Dressing (see recipe)
  • Garnish: chopped fresh dill

Directions

  1. Heat a cast-iron grill pan over medium0high heat or preheat grill to medium-high heat. Grill corn in husks, turning occasionally, until husk is charred, about 15 minutes. Shuck corn; grill corn on cob, turning frequently, until charred and tender, about 10 minutes more. Let corn cool enough to handle; cut kernels off cob to measure 1 cup.

  2. In a large skillet, heat oil over medium heat. In a large bowl, whisk together cornmeal, flour, parsley, baking powder, salt and pepper. Stir in milk just until combined. Gently fold in corn kernels and bell pepper just until combined.

  3. In a large skillet, heat oil over medium heat. Working in batches, cook batter by 1/4 cupfuls, turning once, until golden brown, 4-5 minutes per side. Serve immediately with Herb Buttermilk Dressing. Garnish with dill.
