| Corn pancakes |
When Gary tasted these corn pancakes he said, "MmmHmmm! Tastes like funeral corn!". I didn't expect to like these, thought they'd be bland. Instead they're delicate.
I added the kernels from an ear of fresh corn for the texture and freshness. We topped the pancakes with a dollop of sour cream and a salsa made of avocado, red onion, jalapeno, cilantro and lime. We loved these and will have them again and again.
I'm kind of obsessed with ice cream lately so for dessert I made strawberry frozen yogurt from
David Lebovitz. Perfect ending!
Don't forget to check out all the
French Friday cooks! This is another wonderful recipe from Around My French Table by Dorie Greenspan!
I like the way you topped your corn cakes, but I am really drooling over the strawberry frozen yogurt :-)
ReplyDeleteHave a great weekend!
I love your story about funeral corn. Your pancakes look good with the avocado salsa. I used sour cream on mine too and thought it worked
ReplyDeleteperfectly.
This was such an easy recipe, I will definitely being using it again and again. Have a great weekend.
Delicious looking pancakes and great little story about the name of your corn pancakes. I love the way that the Doristas "dressed" the pancakes with different and interesting toppings, avocado salsa sounds fresh and summery. Ah, the strawberry frozen yogurt, of course, it looks delicious and healthy too! With all the wonderful frozen treats that you have been making (and posting), you have me convinced that I should order David Lebovitz`s book.
ReplyDeleteHave a wonderful weekend!
I like your choice of toppings for the pancakes - way more inventive than my honey. Your icecream looks fabulous!
ReplyDeleteThe toppings are wonderful Guyla! I loved these and thought they tasted like corn pudding. I made an DL ice cream this week too! Have a great weekend
ReplyDeleteGuyla, Your corn pancakes looks wonderfully delicious!! Love how you topped them! We really loved these, too! Every family has a recipe or two that becomes a tradition for different reasons…Funeral corn says it all!!
ReplyDeleteHope you’re feeling better…for me this is chronic…an old whiplash injury! Every once in awhile I do something stupid that will inflame it! Have a great weekend!
I agree, Guyla - they needed some doctoring up. We've also been obsessed with ice cream lately. Have a great weekend!
ReplyDeleteWhat a great salsa topping, Guyla! I could eat your pancakes as a meal just as you served them...yummy!
ReplyDeleteThe funeral corn casserole sound so interesting and I am sure the perfect comforting food for a sad time. I am glad you enjoyed these. Your toppings sound delicious.
ReplyDeleteIn my family when your born and when you die you get a lasagna... funeral corn has an interesting ring to it. I would love to see that recipe.
ReplyDeleteI'm loving seeing how everyone served these pancakes. Yours look lovely with the avocado salsa on top!
ReplyDeleteI love your topping, Guyla! The simple corn pancakes match the Southwestern flavors you added.
ReplyDeleteThese pancakes seem like they've been adaptable to every type of flavor. Your yogurt looks like the perfect ending to a delicious Summer meal.
ReplyDeleteI'm sure I've mentioned it before but I LOVE that book! So many delicious ice cream recipes and I haven't even touched on the frozen yogurt recipes yet. I'll definitely have to give them a try.
ReplyDeleteI so love that you used fresh corn. I've got to do that come august!
ReplyDeleteGuyla, I am glad you liked the corn pancakes (me, too). Your garnish and topping sounds delicious. I liked that you used a fresh kernel of corn also. I think I processed mine too much and felt it needed more texture. After making David's olive oil ice cream and then his mint chocolate ice cream, I ordered "The Perfect Scoop." I, too, am walking the ice cream/sorbet/yogurt path this Summer. Happy 4th of July.
ReplyDeleteI'm so glad to know these worked with fresh corn. I wanted to try it, but decided to follow the recipe for the first try.
