Method

  1. First turn the grill on high. If using fresh corn, remove the husk and slice the kernels from the cob with a large sharp knife, then cook them in a pan of boiling water for 5 minutes. Drain and leave to cool while you whisk the eggs, milk and butter together. Whisk in the flour and a large pinch of salt until smooth, then mix in the corn (fresh or canned) and the spring onions.
  2. Put the tomatoes cut-side up on a large baking tray, drizzle with olive oil and season with salt and pepper. Lay the bacon next to the tomatoes in a single file on the tray. Grill for 8-10 minutes until the tomatoes have softened and the bacon is crispy, turning the rashers over at half time.
  3. While the bacon's crisping up, heat the sunflower oil in a large frying pan. Add 4 large spoonfuls of the batter and fry for 1-2 minutes on each side until the pancakes are puffed up and golden. Lift out on to a plate lined with kitchen paper and cook the remaining 4 pancakes. Bring to the table with a bottle of chilli sauce.

    A welcome change from those everlasting breakfast cereals. The egg makes it a nutritious breakfast for my egg phobic son (apparently egg in pancake is OK! - he's a teenager, by the way, not a toddler, sad isn't it). I mix the batter and sweetcorn (frozen, very lightly cooked) the night before and leave it in the fridge overnight, and I substitute some wholewheat SR flour or the white. The teenager and the 12-year old like this so much they don't even notice that I don't bother with the bacon.

    These are very bland, I would add some paprika, and seasoning I can't believe no seasoning is added to the recipe! Also for little ones this is fab with some cooked chopped broccoli added!

    Lovely. Instead of making eight large pancakes I made 24 small ones. I ate them alone without bacon nor tomatoes. Lovely as finger food for parties etc..

    These are lovely i add finely chopped chilli and fresh coriander,also sea salt and pepper, but they are not really a pancake , more of a fritter, so easy to invent your own .

    These were great, i didn't bother with the bacon or anything, just had the corn cakes. I added turmeric and chilli powder and they were great as a light supper with chilli sauce and salad. I'll be making these again and again

    I make these all the time. A few chili flakes is a nice addition to make a change.

    Very tasty Mix looked very watery but fried well and puffed to roughtly double size. Made about 10 good sized fritters. I echo the comments - a few chilli flakes helped (I added these), or serve with chilli jam/salsa

    I come back to this recipe time and time again, a real standby. I do agree with the other reviews about lack of seasoning though, and often put in heaps of black pepper or chili/smoked paprika. Also works well with cubes of feta stirred through the batter before cooking.
