This week’s French Fridays with Dorie is Corn Pancakes. Delicious, right? But here’s the catch — they were supposed to be made with canned corn. Seeing that it’s the end of June I just couldn’t do it. I confess, I used fresh corn (2 ears for a half recipe). I think if this recipe had been assigned a non-Summer month, I totally would have tried it with canned or frozen corn.
Notes:
1. I also threw about 5 basil leaves in the blender because I love corn and fresh basil together.
2. I got about 12 pancakes with a half recipe (I used a tablespoon to measure).
3. I thought they were really good! I had some for lunch the next day with some braised kale and chicken.
4. I drizzled the top with some smoked balsamic vinegar I picked up in Santa Fe last month.
Okay, here’s a link to everyone’s posts and my pictures.
Two ears of fresh corn gave me about 8.5 oz of kernels.
In the blender with the egg, flour, salt, and basil.
Sauteing in olive oil.
About twelve pancakes resting briefly.
Lunch the next day!
I so love that you used fresh corn! I can’t wait until August when it should be ready here. Beautiful photos!
Lovely idea of using fresh corn and basil. I might give that a whirl!
I like that you used fresh corn on these – I am sure it heightened the flavor & basil is always a great touch 🙂
The basil and fresh corn is definitely a great idea! Nice pictures!
Can’t go wrong with corn and basil!
the best of us used the fresh corn… if canned is good enough for the French – I will take that option 🙂 Great job!
Wow! You really created a fabulous meal. I love that you used fresh corn & basil. You took something so simple and plain and made it amazing!
I love the idea of the basil. Your pictures make me think of Summer … a nice Summer, not the miserable heat of a Texas Summer!
Oooh! Love the sound of that smoked balsamic vinegar on top! Looks great. 🙂
I added fresh corn to the recipe but didn’t think about using only fresh corn! Good idea!
Geat idea. Looks delicious!!!
I used fresh corn too. But I used 2 ears for the whole recipe (I was imagining volume, not actually weight). I like that you added fresh basil. It also looks nice with the braised greens.
Grr, either I stink at math or your spam filter is extra fussy because I always seem to lose my first comment. Oh well, just wanted to say that your pancakes look great and I bet that they were extra tasty with fresh corn and basil.
Rose: Thanks! Sorry the spam filter is a pain! 🙁
