Ingredients

  • 1 cup polenta
  • 2/3 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1 teaspoon sugar
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1 large egg
  • 1 2/3 buttermilk
  • 1/2 cup sliced green onions, including some green tops
  • 1 cup corn kernels (fresh-cut, frozen, or drained canned)
  • 1 1/2 tablespoons melted butter or margarine

Directions

  1. 1
    In a large bowl, mix polenta, flour, baking powder, soda, sugar, and salt.
  2. 2
    Add egg and buttermilk. Beat with a whisk until batter is smooth. Stir in onions, corn, and butter.
  3. 3
    Place a griddle or 10- to 12-inch frying pan (nonstick, if desired) over medium heat. When it's hot, spoon batter in 1/4-cup portions onto griddle, spacing slightly apart. Cook until edges look dry, turn with a wide spatula, and brown bottoms, 2 to 3 minutes total.
  4. 4
    Serve pancakes as cooked, or arrange in a single layer on racks on baking sheets and keep warm in a 150° oven up to 15 minutes.
  5. 5
    Stack pancakes on plates and serve with chipotle sauce added to taste.
