How to Make Skillet Corn Cakes

  1. Sauté 1/2 cup chopped yellow onion in a skillet over medium heat until softened and translucent (about 5 minutes). Add 1 cup of corn kernels and sauté for another 3-5 minutes, until slightly tender. Set aside to cool.
  2. In a large bowl, whisk together 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour, 1/2 cup cornmeal, 2 teaspoons baking powder, 1 teaspoon baking soda, 1 teaspoon salt, and 1/4 cup granulated sugar.
  3. In a separate bowl, whisk together 1 cup buttermilk, 1 large egg, 1/2 cup half-and-half, and 2 tablespoons melted unsalted butter. Add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients and whisk until just combined. Do not overmix.
  4. Gently fold in the sautéed onions and corn.
  5. Heat a lightly oiled nonstick skillet over medium heat. Pour 1/4 cup of batter onto the skillet for each corn cake. Cook for 2-3 minutes per side, or until golden brown and cooked through. Serve immediately.
