Sweet Corn Pancakes with Mt. Tam Cheese

Ingredients

  • 3 large ears of corn, shucked
  • 1 large egg, lightly beaten
  • 11/4 cup water
  • 11/2 cup all-purpose flour
  • 11/2 tsp salt
  • 1 tsp baking powder
  • 1/2 cup finely chopped scallions
  • 1/4 cup canola oil, plus more as needed
  • 2 oz triple-cream cheese, such as Cowgirl Creamery’s Mt. Tamor St. André, cut into 1/2-inch pieces
  • freshly ground black pepper

Directions

  1. In a large saucepan of salted boiling water, cook the corn until crisp-tender, 3 to 5 minutes. Transfer to a plate and let cool completely, then cut the kernels off the cobs.
  2. In a large bowl, beat the egg with the water. Sift the flour, salt and baking powder over the egg and whisk until a batter forms. Stir in the corn kernels and scallions.
  3. In a large nonstick skillet, heat the 1/4 cup of canola oil until shimmering. Spoon a scant 1/4 cup of the batter into the skillet for each pancake and cook over moderate heat until browned on the bottom, 1 to 2 minutes. Flip the cakes and top each with a piece of cheese. Cook until the cheese just starts to melt and the corn cakes are cooked through, about 2 minutes longer. Transfer the corn cakes to a serving platter and season with black pepper. Repeat with the remaining batter. Serve warm.

MAKE AHEAD: The batter can be refrigerated overnight. Stir in the corn and scallions before cooking.
