Pastor James Brown: Corn Fritters Pancakes

February 21, 2017 / By Pastor James Brown, Bowmansville UMC & Faith Lancaster UMC

As a pancake lover and cooker for many, many years, I have used this recipe to feed many a fine group of people over the years at many Shrove Tuesday events prior to Ash Wednesday.

Folks do plain pancakes on Shrove Tuesday, but I enjoy making, as I like to say, "Step it up a Notch!" Corn Cakes pancakes as a second choice. Lots of people love them and have wanted the recipe, so here it is!

Ingredients:

(Serves 4)
1 can whole kernel corn                         
2 eggs
1/2 cup flour
1/2 shredded cheese
2 tbsp oil                              
1 tsp baking powder                                 
1 pat butter       
Salt & pepper to taste                                                       

Directions:

1. Drain can corn and save liquid.
2. Put eggs, salt and pepper in a bowl and beat.
3. Add flour and baking powder, whisk until smooth.
4. Add corn & corn juice and shredded cheese.                       
5. Stir together, batter should be semi thick. (A cheap trick is to use Bisquick/Jiffy Mix & equal parts of stone ground corn meal & cans of corn, mix & add milk to make batter)
6. Put butter and oil in frypan & heat until bubbly over medium heat.
7. Drop corn mixture in spoonful lots into frypan.
8. When golden turn and cook other side.
9. Drain on absorbent paper and serve.
