It’s pretty hard to escape corn in anything you eat. Our favorite chips are made from it, and so is most of our cooking oil. I don’t even need to tell you about corn starch.
Corn is pretty tasty and can make anything satisfy the stomach a whole lot more.
And the catalog of tasty things you can prepare with corn is about to get larger with this recipe here!
First on the list is 1 can of corn equaling about 200g. You shouldn’t have any trouble finding one in the grocery – some aisles are full of them.
And joining the corn in a bowl is one egg with some salt and black pepper. Then 1/3 a cup of corn starch.
Make sure to mix the ingredients well so they blend with the corn nice and smooth.
When I mentioned that corn was everywhere, I wasn’t joking at all. Pancake mixes and a lot of breakfast cereals use corn for their mixtures.
Wet milled corn is used to make paper, detergents, dyes, fireworks, paints, and a whole lot more things. As far as edible things are concerned, corn starch is used in numerous seasonings and even baby formulas.
It’s pretty unbelievable just how dependent we are on this humble crop.
Can you imagine what we’d do if all the corn in the world suddenly vanished?
Getting back to the recipe, next on the ingredients list is olive oil – one of the few products here that’s not made of corn.
You’re going to be using this to fry the mixture, so put some on a pan and fry the ingredients with it.
While the pancake-like mixture is cooking in the pan, add about 30g of Mozzarella cheese on top of it.
The channel that brought us this recipe, Cooking Everyday, calls it a “pancake.” So I suppose this is a corn pancake.
I don’t expect many folks to have heard of one, much less tasted one. There’s a first time for everything, I guess.
Funnily enough, many pancake mixes are made with corn to begin with. So things are really coming full circle with this recipe.
Fry the pancake for about 5 minutes on medium to low heat. And try not to get impatient when you smell the cooking mozzarella cheese.
5 minutes isn’t that long. When that time has passed, you can take the pancake out of the pan and serve it!
For a few finishing touches, you can also add some green onions like the person in the video does.
It’s a small touch, but could make it just that much tastier.
And now you’ve got a simple, yet tasty, corn pancake recipe to whip up. It’s pretty inexpensive to make as well!
All it takes is some grocery-bought canned corn and things you might already have lying around.
With a dish this simple, what’s stopping you from making enough for two?
