How to Make Kale Corn And Onion Skillet Cakes

  1. Heat 1-2 tablespoons of olive oil in a large non-stick skillet over medium heat.
  2. Add 1 medium onion, thinly sliced, and sauté until golden brown and softened (about 5-7 minutes).
  3. In a large bowl, whisk together 1 cup all-purpose flour, 1/2 cup cornmeal, 1 teaspoon salt, 2 cups fresh or frozen corn kernels, and 2 cups chopped kale.
  4. In a medium bowl, lightly beat 2 large eggs with 2 tablespoons melted butter or olive oil and 1/2 cup milk.
  5. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and gently mix until just combined. Do not overmix.
  6. Add the sautéed onion to the batter and stir to combine.
  7. Heat the skillet again over medium heat. Add 1/4 cup of batter for each cake, leaving space between each cake.
  8. Add more oil to the skillet as needed to prevent sticking.
  9. Cook the cakes for 3-4 minutes per side, or until golden brown and cooked through. Cakes are done when they are lightly browned and cooked through. Flip when bubbles start to form on the surface.
  10. Serve warm. Enjoy these delicious and healthy skillet cakes for breakfast, lunch, or dinner!
