This recipe for Sweet Corn Griddle Cakes is my favorite alternative to baking a big dry loaf of cornbread. These are NOT dry at all and the almost pudding like texture that they have is 100% delicious!
I created this recipe in partnership with Stahlbush Island Farms featuring their premium frozen Super Sweet Corn. Their corn adds a bright crunch and sweet texture to these griddle cakes.
What you need:
You will notice that this recipe requires ingredients that are similar to those found in cornbread. I remember one of THE BEST pieces of cornbread that I ever ate that was super fluffy, sweet, and have whole pieces of corn in it. These remind me of that in a simpler pancake-style form.
This recipe couldn't be easier, you simply melt the butter and then mix all the remaining ingredients into a bowl and mix it together. In the culinary world, this is known as a straight method. It basically means, dump, and mix.
I then get a little bit fancy and use a round cookie or biscuit cutter on my cast iron griddle to shape the griddle cakes into perfect little disks. You don't have to do this, I just like it because it allows me to make them a little thicker, leaving some soft, jammy-like, cornbread consistency in the middle of the cake.
But by all means, they can be made as straight-up pancakes if you don't want to take this extra step. But if you do, grease the cutter only once, the butter in the recipe should do all the work you need to release the cake. Also, as soon as you can spin the cutter and the cake move independently, remove the cutter, let it set for about 30 more seconds and then flip the cake.
I serve these topped with generous pats of butter and a drizzle of honey. They are griddle cakes after all. I also love serving them with my Black Eyed Peas and Greens Soup, I serve these on top and dip them in. They would also be great served with Pumpkin Chili for dipping also!
Sweet Corn Griddle Cakes
The fantasic and quick way to whip up some cornbread like cakes is the most fantastic side dish to any of your southern inspired dinner dishes.
Ingredients
- 8 tablespoons Unsalted Butter, melted
- 1, 14.75 oz can Cream-Style Corn
- 1 cup Sour Cream
- ½ cup Granulated Sugar
- 2 lg Eggs
- 1 teaspoon Kosher Salt
- ½ cup Cornmeal
- 1 cup All-Purpose Flour
- 1 teaspoon Baking Powder
- 1, 10oz bag Stahlbush Island Farms Super Sweet Corn, thawed
Instructions
- In a large mixing bowl, stir together the melted butter and cream corn. Add the sour cream, sugar, and eggs to the bowl and stir to combine. Fold in the cornmeal, flour, and baking powder until no lumps of flour are visible. Add the Stahlbush Island Farms Corn and stir together until evenly distributed.
- Heat a griddle over medium heat and using a ¼ cup measuring cup, scoop portions of the mixture onto the hot griddle, like you would pancakes. Cook until lightly browned, about 1.5 minutes on each side. Serve with butter and honey on top.
Notes
If you want more uniform cakes, use a 3 inch pastry cutter, and when the edges set, remove the cuter and let the cake cook until almost set, then flip. Once you get in a rhythm this process moves quickly.
