Crispy Corn & Herb Pancake Slices

Crispy Corn & Herb Pancake Slices are savory, golden pancakes packed with sweet corn, fresh herbs, and a light batter, pan-fried until crisp and served in slices – perfect for snacks, brunch, or party platters.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 1/2 cups corn kernels (fresh, frozen, or canned and drained)
  • 1/2 cup chopped mixed herbs (parsley, cilantro, chives)
  • 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1/4 cup rice flour (for extra crispiness)
  • 1/2 tsp baking powder
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1/4 cup milk or water
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 1/4 tsp paprika or chili flakes (optional)
  • 2 tbsp grated parmesan or nutritional yeast (optional)
  • Vegetable oil for pan-frying

Instructions

  1. In a large bowl, combine all-purpose flour, rice flour, baking powder, salt, pepper, and paprika or chili flakes.
  2. In another bowl, whisk together eggs and milk (or water).
  3. Add wet ingredients to the dry mix and stir until just combined.
  4. Fold in the corn kernels, chopped herbs, and optional parmesan or nutritional yeast.
  5. Heat a nonstick skillet with a bit of oil over medium heat.
  6. Pour the batter into the pan and spread evenly into a thick round or rectangle, about 1/2 inch thick.
  7. Cook for 4–5 minutes per side, or until golden brown and crispy. Flip carefully using a spatula.
  8. Once cooked through, transfer to a board and let cool slightly. Slice into wedges or squares.
  9. Serve warm with a dipping sauce or yogurt-based dressing.

Notes

  • Rice flour helps make the pancakes extra crispy.
  • Use whatever herbs you have on hand – dill, mint, or basil also work well.
  • Can be made ahead and reheated in a skillet or oven.
  • Pairs great with sour cream, sriracha mayo, or herbed yogurt dip.
