Servings: 4
Ingredients
- Fresh corn kernels
- 2 cups
- Eggs
- 2 large
- All-purpose flour
- 1 cup
- Granulated sugar
- 2 tablespoons
- Salt
- 1/2 teaspoon
- Unsalted butter
- 3 tablespoons, for cooking
- Sour cream or fresh cheese
- for serving (optional)
- Honey or syrup

Instructions
- In a blender, combine the fresh corn kernels and eggs. Blend until smooth and creamy.
- In a separate mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, granulated sugar, and salt until well combined.
- Pour the corn-egg mixture into the dry ingredients and stir gently until just combined. Do not overmix; a few lumps are okay.
