I wanted to use up a few cobs of grilled corn leftover from the Fourth
of July. I slliced the corn kernals off of the cob, then mixed up a
batch of pancake batter. I sprinkled a good handful of corn over
each pancake before I flipped it.

We enjoyed the corn pancakes. The smokiness of the grilled corn
tasted so good against the sweet pancake syrup. '

I think these are corn fritters. Whatever you call them, they are fine,
fine, fine!

I think fritters are deep fried. But, whatever, a batter doesn't seem to
suffer from the addition of corn kernels.

My Eastern VA relatives made what they called corn fritters at most
breakfasts, but they were not deep fried. Everything was fried about the
same way, in a skillet.

I've heard a term used for it on Food Network lately... "shallow"
frying.

As it happens, this coming Thursday is National Corn Fritter Day.

and aren't fritters more of a bread crumb mixture that gets fried rather
than a pancake batter?

I think it depends on the recipe, but fritters that I know are a thicker
batter. Not necessarily fried in a deep fryer, but most certainly in deeper
fat than one would fry pancakes. I think of pancakes of sort of baking in
the open skillet with little fat. Then various other kinds of "cakes" take
more fat and fritters the most. But what do I know?

Absolutely!

That does sound good! I have a couple ears in the fridge that I just
might allocate for that particular purpose. Though, a little pat of
butter or Brummel and Brown might be sufficient -- nix the syrup.

Thanks for sharing!

That does sound good! A wonderful injection of carbs.

Made me google Brummel and Brown. I wonder if that's a regional brand. I'll
look for it.

Local supermarkets carry it. Spreadable strawberries and cream.

Jon,

In a rush today, I forgot all about the brand and grabbed the Fiber One
strawberry yogurt 4-packs.

The Brummel and Brown store locator mentions it's available at all the
ACMEs in all directions nearby!

I entered it into the iPhone shopping list.

Thanks,

Andy

Tara, I've never tried this with grilled or roasted corn, though I'm sure
that would be an interesting and tasty twist. Growing up my mother
frequently added fresh cut corn kernals to pancake batter. I've always
loved corn pancakes.

Years later I started adding fresh cut corn kernals to my cornmeal waffle
batter... Super delicious!

Contrary to what some people seem to believe, these are definitely
pancakes, not fritters. For those who don't know, corn fritters are not
flat pancake style. The batter is thick enough to form with two large
spoons and slide into deep fat for frying.

I bet they would have been good sans the syrup and used as a base or
layers stacked for something like creamed chicken. I make an onion
waffle (Oster waffle maker recipe book) at times for creamed chicken and
it is delicious!

I could see savory pancakes or waffles topped with some barbecued
pork, chicken, or beef.

Thank all of you for the ideas. The best I could come up with is cornmeal cakes
with embedded diced bananas

Sounds interesting. My mom make the cornmeal batter off the back of
the Quaker box and thinned it a bit and made pancakes out of it. we
loved them loaded with syrup or jam/jelly. Served with bacon and eggs
it was always a favorite meal. I'll try it adding corn next time.
Thanks for the idea.
