Corn Pancakes With Maple Fruit Compote Recipes

MAPLE FRUIT COMPOTE

Steps:

• Combine the fruit and the maple syrup in a bowl and serve at room temperature, or cover and refrigerate until an hour before serving.

FRESH CORN PANCAKES

Steps:

• Whisk together flour, baking powder, sugar, and 1 teaspoon salt in a medium bowl.
• Cut enough kernels from cobs to measure 2 cups. Using back of a knife, scrape pulp from cobs and transfer to a blender with milk and 1/2 cup corn. Purée until smooth, then strain through a sieve into another medium bowl, pressing on and then discarding solids. Whisk in eggs, oil, and butter.
• Add to flour mixture with remaining 1 1/2 cups corn and whisk until just combined.
• Heat a griddle or heavy skillet over medium heat until hot, then lightly brush with oil. Working in batches, pour 1/3 cup batter per pancake onto griddle and cook until bubbles appear on surface and undersides are golden-brown, about 2 minutes. Flip with a spatula and cook until undersides are golden-brown, about 1 minute more. (Reduce heat if pancakes brown too quickly.) Lightly oil griddle between batches if necessary.

CINNAMON PANCAKES WITH COMPOTE & MAPLE SYRUP

Steps:

• First make the Apple, pear & cherry compote (see 'Goes well with'). You'll need half the compote for this recipe.
• In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, cinnamon, sugar and ½ tsp salt. In a jug, whisk the egg, milk, vanilla and melted butter. Make a well in the dry ingredients and pour in the milk mixture gradually, whisking as you go to make a smooth batter. Ideally, let the mixture stand for 1 hr (or even overnight, covered in the fridge), although you can cook with it straight away.
• Heat a non-stick frying pan over a medium-high heat. Melt a knob of butter, then drop in tbsps of the mixture to make pancakes about 10cm across. Cook for 2-3 mins until bubbles appear on the surface, then flip over and cook for 1 min more. Keep each batch warm while you use up the rest of the batter. Stack up the pancakes and serve with hot or cold compote, maple syrup and yogurt.

CORNMEAL PANCAKES WITH RASPERRY COMPOTE RECIPE - (4.6/5)

Steps:

• For the compote: *Clearjel is a product that I buy either on the King Arthur Flour website, or Amazon carries it. I use this for making my berry pie filling. I whisk 1 tablespoon to every cup of sugar before adding it to my berries. Clearjel always gives me perfectly thickened and well set fruit pie filling, without clumping-- and, like the name says, my fillings are clear and not cloudy (as cornstarch tends to do). You can use cornstarch, but I tend to whisk it into some water to remove all lumps before adding to my fruit. Wash and drain raspberries. (If frozen, I still rinse them with warm water to separate them) Place in a saucepan on medium-high heat. Bring to a gentle boil, and reduce heat until just simmering. Gently crush the berries to break them up a bit (I use a potato masher). Simmer until the fruit has thickened. Remove from heat allow to come to room temperature. Note: You can easily cut the ingredients in half, if you are cooking for two (as we are) This yielded 9 pancakes, using a 1/4 cup measure per pancake. Cornmeal pancakes: Whisk together the cornmeal, flour, sugar, baking powder and salt in a bowl. In a separate bowl, whisk the milk, vinegar, vanilla and eggs. Pour the milk mixture into the dry ingredients, stirring gently. Stir in the melted butter. If the batter is overly thick, splash in a small amount of milk. Heat 1 tablespoon melted butter in a skillet over medium-low heat. When hot, drop in 1/4 cup batter per pancake and cook until golden brown on both sides, about 2 minutes per side. Remove from the skillet and keep warm. Continue with the remaining batter, using more melted butter as needed Stack some pancakes for each serving, placing a pat of butter on top. Drizzle raspberry compote over the top. Note: Yes, you can substitute blueberries or blackberries, if you wish. Any leftover compote should be stored in an airtight container and refrigerated up to a week.

BUTTERMILK CORN PANCAKES WITH BACON & MAPLE SYRUP

Steps:

• Heat the oven to 150C/130C fan/gas 2 - you'll need the oven to keep the pancakes warm later on. Put the cornmeal, flour, baking powder, eggs, buttermilk, melted butter and half the sweetcorn into the bowl of a food processor and pulse to combine (you want the corn to be chopped, not puréed). Stir in the spring onions and remaining corn.
• Heat two frying pans over a medium heat, and add about 1 tbsp oil to each. Ladle two pancakes, measuring about 10-12cm across, into each pan. Cook for about 3-4 mins until set and small bubbles form on top. Using a palette knife, flip the pancakes over and cook on the other side for 2-3 mins more. Transfer the cooked pancakes to a roasting tin or baking sheet lined with a double layer of baking parchment, and put in the oven to keep them warm.
• When all the pancakes are cooked, add a little more oil to the pans, then cook the bacon until golden on both sides. Serve alongside the pancakes, with the maple syrup drizzled over and some extra spring onions sprinkled on top.
