Instructions

Prepare the Batter: In a bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, cornmeal, baking powder, salt, and sugar. In a separate container, mix the yogurt and olive oil, then fold in the sweet corn kernels. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, stirring gently until you have a thick, spreadable batter.
Heat Your Pan: Preheat a non-stick skillet or cast iron pan over medium heat. Lightly grease the surface with olive oil or butter to prevent sticking and help develop a golden crust.
Cook the Flatbread: Using a ladle, pour a scoop of batter onto the hot pan, spreading it slightly into a round shape. Cook for about 3-4 minutes on each side, or until both sides turn golden and crisp.
Cool and Serve: Remove the flatbread from the pan and place it on a wire rack or paper towels to drain any excess oil. Allow to cool slightly before serving.

Notes

Use fresh corn for juicier, sweeter flavor compared to canned or frozen.
Do not overmix batter to keep the flatbread light and tender.
Maintain medium heat on the pan for even cooking without burning.
Let the batter rest for 5 minutes before cooking to hydrate the cornmeal and improve texture.
Add optional flavor boosters such as smoked paprika or cumin for added depth.
