Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients
- 1 cup sweet corn kernels (fresh or frozen)
- 3/4 cup all-purpose flour (or gluten-free flour blend for gluten-free option)
- 1/4 cup cornmeal
- 1/2 cup yogurt or buttermilk (use plant-based yogurt for vegan option)
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon sugar
- 2 tablespoons olive oil or melted butter (use olive oil for vegan)
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.
