Ingredients

Scale

Main Ingredients

  • 1 cup fresh corn kernels (about 2 ears of corn)
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour (or gluten-free flour blend for gluten-free version)
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1 tablespoon sugar
  • 2 large eggs
  • 3/4 cup milk or buttermilk
  • 2 tablespoons butter or oil, melted

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Corn Mixture: Remove fresh corn kernels from the cob and combine them with eggs and milk or buttermilk in a bowl to form the flavorful base of your batter.
  2. Mix Dry Ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, salt, and sugar to evenly distribute all dry ingredients.
  3. Combine Wet and Dry Ingredients: Gradually add the dry mixture to the corn and wet ingredients, gently folding until smooth and thick batter forms. Avoid overmixing to keep the flatbread tender.
  4. Cook the Flatbread: Heat a lightly greased skillet over medium heat. Spoon batter to form small rounds about 1/4 to 1/2 inch thick. Cook each side for 3-4 minutes until golden brown and cooked through.
  5. Serve Warm: Remove the flatbreads from the skillet and serve immediately with your favorite garnishes or side dishes, or allow to cool for later use.

Notes

  • Use fresh corn kernels for maximum sweetness and texture compared to canned or frozen.
  • Do not overmix batter; stir just until combined for a tender crumb.
  • Cook on medium heat to avoid burning and achieve a crispy outside with a soft inside.
  • Prefer buttermilk over regular milk for richer, tangier flavor.
  • Let batter rest for 5-10 minutes before cooking to hydrate the flour and improve texture.
