Ingredients

  • 2 tbsp pickled jalapeno slices (adjust to taste)
  • 190 g sweetcorn kernels (~ 1 cup) - I used tinned
  • 100 g cheddar cheese, grated (~ 1 cup grated)
  • 1 egg
  • 100 g plain flour (~ 2/3 cup)
  • 200 ml milk (~ 3/4 cup)
  • 1 tbsp oil, plus a little more for frying
  • Salt
  • Black pepper

Instructions

  • Add the jalapeno slices and sweetcorn kernels to a food processor, and blitz until coarsely chopped. It’s fine if a few whole kernels of corn remain.
  • Add the grated cheese, egg, plain flour, milk, and 1 tbsp oil to the food processor, along with a generous pinch of salt and pepper, and blitz again briefly until combined.
  • Lightly grease a non-stick frying pan (you won’t need the full 1tbsp - save some back for the other pancakes). Allow the pan to come up to a medium temperature, and pour in about a quarter of the pancake mixture. Swirl the pan to distribute the mixture - since it’s thicker than a standard British pancake mix, you may also need to use the back of a spoon to help form the shape, and to ensure that the cheese, corn etc. are distributed evenly around the pancake.
  • Cook the pancake for a few minutes, until the underside is golden brown and crispy. Carefully flip the pancake using a large, flat spatula. Cook the other side until crispy, and transfer the pancake to a plate.
  • Repeat with the remaining pancake batter (you may need to re-grease the pan a little each time). Serve the pancakes warm.
