How to Make Sauteed Corn Cakes

  1. In a large bowl, whisk together 2 cups of fresh or frozen corn kernels, 1 cup all-purpose flour, 1/2 cup milk, 1 large egg, 1/4 cup finely chopped red onion, 2 tablespoons melted unsalted butter, 1 teaspoon baking powder, 1/2 teaspoon salt, and 1/4 teaspoon black pepper. Mix until just combined; do not overmix.
  2. Heat 2 tablespoons of vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium heat.
  3. Drop heaping tablespoons of batter onto the hot skillet, leaving space between each cake.
  4. Gently flatten each cake with a spatula. Cook for 2-3 minutes per side, or until golden brown and cooked through.
  5. Transfer cooked corn cakes to a baking sheet and keep warm in a 200°F (93°C) oven while you cook the remaining batter.
  6. Serve immediately and enjoy!
