     Last week when I posted, I told you all about my adventures with corn on the cob!  Well, maybe not all, because I have a couple more things to share with you about corn.  Today, it is going to be about these delicious Fresh Corn Griddle Cakes that I made for my husband and I! If you like pancakes, you will love these even more.  The flavor is sweet and delicious and we topped them with honey butter which made them even better! 

      When we ate them, it was kind of a breakfast for dinner night.  We paired them with scrambled eggs and some of my Canned Cinnamon Apple Rings.  (click the link for that recipe!) It was definitely a comfort food that hit the spot!

Ingredients for Fresh Corn Griddle Cakes:

     If you have fresh corn to use up, you will probably also have the rest of the ingredients for this recipe because they are mostly kitchen staples.

• An ear of Fresh Corn-Mine was an ear that had been cooked but not eaten the night before.  You can use an ear that hasn't been cooked or one that has been blanched or roasted.  They will all work. Just cut the kernels off of the cob with a sharp knife.  
• Honey-the flavor of honey goes so well with corn!  Plus, it has a lower glycemic index than sugar which is good since corn is already a starchy vegetable containing carbs.  But, it is considered a low glycemic vegetable.  Keeping that glycemic count low is important! 
• Butter
• Cornmeal-Although cornmeal has a higher glycemic index than corn itself, it does contain many nutrients and fiber.  
• All Purpose Flour
• Buttermilk-Buttermilk adds to the lift of your pancakes and also adds to the flavor! 
  
• Whole Milk

Corn cut off the cob

Just fold the corn into your batter at the end of the mixing process.

​How to Cook Griddle Cakes?

     The best way to cook griddle cakes is on a cast iron griddle or in a cast iron skillet.  
Heat the griddle and spray with cooking spray or use butter.  
Pour the batter onto a hot griddle into circles the size that you would like. 
Watch the griddle cake to see the bubbles form.  These cakes are tender, so flip them carefully when you see the top covered with bubbles.  Cook until they are golden brown on both sides.  

The bubbles are just forming around the edges. Wait until the top is covered with bubbles and they begin to pop.

YUM!
