Golden Corn Pancake, with the sizzling sound of golden corn kernels in the pan, releases an enticing aroma. As the temperature rises, the corn kernels gradually turn golden and crispy, like a painting of a bountiful autumn harvest. The cooked Golden Corn Pancake is fragrant, crispy, sweet but not greasy, making it a delicious and healthy snack that is irresistible, bite after bite.
Ingredients for Golden corn pancake recipe:
| Corn | 300g |
| Egg | 50g |
| Starch | 5g |
| Sugar | 6g |
| Glutinous rice flour | 20g |
Step:
1.Boil the corn kernels until they become soft and sticky, then remove them from the water and place them in a bowl for later use. This step is to make the corn kernels tender and add a chewy texture and sweetness to the Golden Corn Pancake. The cooked corn kernels will be one of the highlights in the pancake, enhancing the overall texture and flavor. Once the corn kernels are cooked thoroughly, you can use a colander or a spoon to drain them completely. Then gently pour them into a bowl, ready to be used in making the Golden Corn Pancake.
2.In the bowl with the cooked corn kernels, crack an egg and add a tablespoon of glutinous rice flour, a tablespoon of starch, and a tablespoon of sugar. Use a spoon or a whisk to thoroughly mix all the ingredients until a smooth batter forms. This step is to fully incorporate the egg and other ingredients, resulting in a dense and rich texture for the Golden Corn Pancake. The addition of glutinous rice flour and starch adds stickiness and texture to the pancake, while the sugar brings a hint of sweetness. Continuously stir the batter to ensure that all the ingredients are evenly mixed, avoiding any lumps or unevenness. The batter should become smooth without any graininess.
3.Heat an adequate amount of oil in a frying pan. Once the oil is hot, pour the well-stirred corn batter into the pan. When the oil reaches the appropriate temperature for stir-frying, use a spoon or spatula to pour the batter into the pan, quickly spreading and shaping it into a round pancake. The batter will rapidly expand and form a soft pancake when it comes into contact with the hot oil. To ensure even and neat pancakes, gently press down the batter with a spatula, spreading it evenly and making full contact with the bottom of the pan. Cook over medium-low heat to avoid flipping the pancake too early or overcooking it. Be patient and wait until the bottom of the pancake becomes golden brown and slightly crispy. Once the bottom is fully cooked, use a spatula or flipping tool to gently flip the pancake and continue cooking the other side. This ensures that both sides are evenly cooked and present a golden appearance. The pancake should have a soft and tender interior with a crispy exterior. If needed, add more oil during frying to ensure a crispier texture.
4.When both sides of the Golden Corn Pancake are fried to a golden crispy texture, remove it from the pan and let it cool slightly. Then, cut the pancake into small pieces or bite-sized chunks. This step makes it easier to eat and share. Cutting the large piece of Golden Corn Pancake into smaller pieces not only allows everyone to enjoy it conveniently but also adds visual appeal to the dish. Finally, sprinkle a layer of white sugar on the cut Golden Corn Pancake. The sugar adds a hint of sweetness, complementing the natural sweetness of the corn and enhancing the overall taste and texture.
Tips:
1.Cook the pancakes over medium-low heat and control the temperature appropriately to avoid flipping them too early, which may result in an undercooked interior or overly burnt exterior.
2.Once one side of the pancake is golden brown and slightly bubbly, gently flip it over to cook the other side. Be careful not to press the pancake too hard, as it may affect its fluffy texture.
