Recipe Box, Savory Corn & Basil Pancakes
This is a fun little side dish for summer
Corn pancakes flavored with fresh basil
At first your mouth might be confused, because subconsciously, pancakes signal a sweeter flavor
But after a bite or two, the flavors of fresh corn and basil kick in, and you will be reaching for more
This dish is much lighter than potatoes and if you want to make them ahead of time, wrap them in foil and reheat them on the grill or in the oven
The batter comes together quickly with pantry ingredients and fresh corn and basil, a great 5 Minute Prep recipe
A few minutes in a hot skillet with butter and olive oil and voilà~
