  • 800 gCorn, sweet, yellow, raw
  • 180 gMilk, whole, 3.25% milkfat, with added vitamin D
  • 100 gEgg, whole, raw, fresh
  • 50 gWheat flour, white, all-purpose, unenriched

Method

  1. Cut kernels from fresh ears until you have 800 g, then blend them with milk, eggs, flour and salt to a coarse batter with small corn pieces still visible.
  2. Have 50 g butter ready for the pan. Heat a non-stick pan to 165 °C, brush it lightly with butter and cook four pancakes in sequence: use one quarter of the batter for each, spread to about 18 cm and fry 4 minutes per side. Serve when the edges are golden and the centre is set but tender.

Calculation limitations

  • Nutrition is a calculated estimate, not a laboratory measurement.
  • The final yield is an editorial estimate.
  • Some ingredient quantities use documented estimates or household-measure assumptions.
  • Fibre, saturated fat and sodium of cooked ingredients are estimated from the consumed ingredient amounts; for drained ingredients, sodium is included only where the retained amount is an explicit editorial estimate.
  • Some process effects could not be resolved in this calculation.
