CORN PANCAKES

Steps:

• In bowl, whisk together 1/2 cup flour, 3/4 teaspoon coarse salt, 1 large egg, and 1/3 cup milk just until combined; fold in 2 cups corn kernels.
• Heat 2 tablespoons canola oil in large skillet over medium heat; working in two batches, drop scant 1/4 cups of batter into skillet. Flatten slightly; cook until browned, 3 to 4 minutes per side. Add more oil if needed. Serve immediately.

FRESH CORN PANCAKES

Steps:

• Whisk together flour, baking powder, sugar, and 1 teaspoon salt in a medium bowl.
• Cut enough kernels from cobs to measure 2 cups. Using back of a knife, scrape pulp from cobs and transfer to a blender with milk and 1/2 cup corn. Purée until smooth, then strain through a sieve into another medium bowl, pressing on and then discarding solids. Whisk in eggs, oil, and butter.
• Add to flour mixture with remaining 1 1/2 cups corn and whisk until just combined.
• Heat a griddle or heavy skillet over medium heat until hot, then lightly brush with oil. Working in batches, pour 1/3 cup batter per pancake onto griddle and cook until bubbles appear on surface and undersides are golden-brown, about 2 minutes. Flip with a spatula and cook until undersides are golden-brown, about 1 minute more. (Reduce heat if pancakes brown too quickly.) Lightly oil griddle between batches if necessary.

FRESH CORN PANCAKES

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 250 degrees F. Line two sheet pans with parchment paper.
• In a large bowl, stir together the fine and stone-ground cornmeals, the flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and 1 tablespoon salt. In a medium bowl, whisk together the buttermilk, melted butter, eggs, and Sriracha. Stir in the corn, chives, and jalapeno pepper and mix into the dry ingredients with a rubber spatula until moistened. Don't overmix!
• Heat 1 tablespoon of clarified butter in a large (12-inch) saute pan over medium heat until it sizzles. Drop 1/4-cup measures of batter into the pan without crowding them. Press each pancake very lightly with a small metal spatula. Cook for 2 minutes, turn, and cook for 1 1/2 minutes, until both sides are browned and the center of the pancake is firm. Place the pancakes on the prepared sheet pans and keep them warm in the oven while you cook the rest of the batter. Continue making the pancakes, adding more clarified butter to the pan, as needed. Sprinkle with salt and serve warm with a sprinkling of minced chives.

ALMOST-FAMOUS CORN SALSA

Steps:

• Preheat a grill to medium high. Brush the poblano with 1 teaspoon olive oil and grill, skin-side down, until charred but still firm, about 5 minutes. Cool slightly; peel and finely chop.
• If using fresh corn, bring a small pot of salted water to a boil. Add the corn and cook until tender, 2 to 3 minutes; drain.
• Mix the corn (if using frozen, add it here), poblano, jalapeno, cilantro and red onion in a bowl. Stir in the remaining 2 teaspoons olive oil, the lime juice, sugar and 1/2 teaspoon salt.

SWEETCORN PANCAKES WITH FRIED EGGS & CHORIZO SALSA

Steps:

• For the pancakes, put the flour, polenta, baking powder, milk and 2 of the eggs in a food processor with a good pinch of salt and whizz together. Add the sweetcorn and coriander and briefly pulse until just combined.
• Put the oven on a low heat to keep the pancakes warm as you make them. Tip the chorizo and peppers into a non-stick frying pan over a medium-high heat. Fry for 5-10 mins until the peppers have defrosted and softened and the oils have leaked out of the chorizo into the pan. Stir through the salsa, then tip into a bowl and set aside. Wipe out the pan and reheat with half the oil. Pour dollops of the pancake mixture 8-10cm wide into the pan (they will spread a little so leave space between each one). Cook for 3-4 mins until golden on the underside and bubbles appear on top. Flip over and cook for another 3-4 mins until golden brown. Add the rest of the oil and continue cooking until the mixture is used up (you should make 6 in total), keeping the cooked pancakes warm on a plate in the oven. When you've cooked all the pancakes, fry the 2 remaining eggs.
• Serve the pancakes topped with the warm chorizo salsa and the eggs, scattered with coriander leaves, if you like.

CORNMEAL PANCAKES WITH SPICED PORK & AVOCADO SALSA

Steps:

• Heat oven to 150C/130C fan/gas 2. Put the oil in a solid bottomed casserole dish over a medium-high heat and brown the pork in batches. Remove from the pan with a slotted spoon and set aside.
• Add the onions and cook gently until soft but not coloured, about 5 mins. Tip in the garlic and ginger and cook for 1 min more. Add the spices and oregano and cook for 30 secs more until aromatic.
• Pour in the vinegar, beer and sugar then bring to the boil and simmer for 1 min. Remove from the heat, tip into a blender and process until smooth. Pour the sauce back into the pan and add the browned pork, cinnamon and cloves, and season well. Cover with a tight fitting lid and cook on the middle shelf of the oven for about 2½-3 hrs until the meat is really tender and falls into shreds in the sauce.
• While the pork is cooking, prepare the pancakes. Tip the flour and cornmeal into a bowl with the baking powder and ½ tsp salt. Pour in the oil and 125-150ml of warm water and mix until the dough is firm, but not dry. Tip out on the work surface and knead for 1 min until smooth. Return the dough to the bowl, cover and leave to rest for 30 mins.
• Heat a frying pan over a medium heat. Divide the dough into 18 even-size pieces. Lightly flour the work surface and roll each one into a thin, neat disc roughly 12cm in diameter. Keep the remaining dough covered with cling film to stop it drying out.
• Cook the pancakes in the hot pan for about 30 secs until the underside is dry and just starting to brown in places. Flip the pancake over and cook the other side for about 30 secs. Remove from the pan and keep warm, wrapped in a clean cloth. Repeat with the remaining dough.
• Combine the salsa ingredients in a bowl and season to taste. Shred pork into sauce, then spoon onto each pancake and top with the avocado salsa and soured cream. Scatter with chopped coriander and squeeze over lime.
