- 3 cups corn kernels fresh, frozen or cannned
- 1 cup all purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1 teaspoon sugar
- ½ teaspoon salt
- ½ teaspoon pepper
- 1 large egg
- ½ cup milk

Instructions
- Add vegetable oil to a skillet over medium high heat.
- In a large bowl, combine the corn, all purpose flour, baking soda, sugar, salt and pepper.
- In a small bowl whisk the egg with the milk.
- Add the egg milk mixture into the bowl with the other ingredients. Stir to combine. The batter will be very thick.
- Lower the heat on the skillet to medium and use a ¼ cup measuring cup (or similar) to drop scoops of the batter into the oil, pressing them flat into a pancake shape.
- Cook for 2-3 minutes on each side or until golden. Transfer to a paper towel lined plate to absorb any excess oil and repeat with remaining batter.
