Fresh Corn and Basil Cakes

If you are anything like me, you can’t get enough of the sweet corn and basil available at the Farmer’s Markets right now. I always buy too much, (I can’t help myself), which means I make a lot of these Corn and Basil Cakes to use it all up.

This is an incredibly thoughtful way to use up what you might have left over. These savory Corn-and-Basil Pancakes served as a side dish with the Best Grilled Chicken or grilled steak are so good. You won’t be able to stop eating them.

They are packed full of corn and the basil gives it a sweet, fresh flavor. Don’t leave these out of your summer line-up…they are so easy to make!


Whisk flour, milk, eggs, 1 Tablespoon oil, baking powder, salt and pepper in a medium bowl until smooth.


Stir in corn and basil.


Brush a nonstick skillet (I used my crepe pan) lightly with remaining oil; heat over medium heat until hot (but not smoking). Cook 2 cakes at a time, using 1/4 cup batter for each. Pour the batter onto the skillet (batter will be very thick) and pat down a bit with the back of a spoon, but leaving them thick. Cook until the edges are dry, about 2 minutes. Flip and cook until golden brown on the other side, 1 to 3 minutes more. Repeat with remaining oil and batter, making ten cakes total.  Reduce the heat as necessary to prevent burning.


Slather the top with a little butter and just….OMG.
