INGREDIENTS
For the pancakes
500g frozen sweetcorn, defrosted
3 spring onions
25g coriander
1 large red chilli (approx. 25g deseeded)
20g cornflour
50g self raising flour
1 tsp baking powder
4 large free range eggs (separated)
1 tsp caster sugar
Salt
Pepper
1 tsp vegetable oil, for frying
1 avocado
100g natural yoghurt
Salt
1 lime (juice only)
*If you're looking to use smaller eggs to create this dish, we recommend three pullet eggs/small eggs for every two large eggs required.
METHODTo make the pancakes:
- Preheat oven to 150°C
- Char the sweetcorn in a frying pan in batches if required so not to over fill the pan.
- Allow to cool and transfer into a food processor or large bowl and use a stick blender.
- Sieve together the cornflour, self raising flour and baking powder and add to the corn. Add the egg yolks and sugar. Blitz to form a coarse purée, seasoning well with salt and pepper. Chop the spring onion and coriander and add to the mix.
- In a separate bowl whisk the egg whites until thick.
- Gently fold the egg whites into the sweetcorn mix.
- To cook the pancakes heat a frying pan with a little oil. Add a few spoonful’s of the mixture for each pancake and cook until the base of the pancakes are firm and have a nice golden colour. Flip the pancakes over to cook the other side. Once the golden colour is achieved transfer to a baking sheet and to the oven to keep warm whilst you cook off the rest of the mixture.
To make the avocado yoghurt:
Blend 1 avocado with 100g of natural yoghurt, a pinch of salt and juice of one lime.
Serve the pancakes with the avocado yoghurt, rocket and a chilli jam or hot sauce of your choice.
