Sweet Corn Pancakes

Directions

1. 1
   Pour milk and 1/2 cup of fresh corn kernels into a blender and blend on high until smooth. Strain through a fine mesh sieve into a large bowl, pressing on and then discarding solids. Whisk in eggs and butter. Add remaining corn and mix to combine.
2. 2
   Add flour, baking powder, sugar and salt. Gently stir until just combined.
3. 3
   Heat a griddle or large skillet over medium heat until hot then lightly grease griddle with oil. When oil is hot, pour 1/3 cup sized scoops of batter per pancake onto the griddle (don't crowd the griddle-you'll probably need to do this in batches). Cook until bubbles appear on the top surface, the edges are becoming cooked-through and undersides are golden-brown, about 4 minutes. Turn with a spatula and cook until undersides are golden-brown, about 2 minutes more. If pancakes brown too quickly reduce heat. Lightly oil griddle between batches if necessary.
