Ingredients
3 cups fresh corn kernels
1 cup milk
⅔ cup cornmeal
⅔ cup flour
½ teaspoon baking powder
Coarse salt and freshly ground pepper to taste
4 eggs
4 egg yolks
½ cup unsalted butter, melted
½ cup chives, chopped
4 to 6 tablespoons clarified butter
1 cup smoked corn relish
6 tablespoons creme fraiche
3 tablespoons basil leaves, snipped fine
Preparation
- Step 1
Process the corn kernels in a food processor with the milk until chunky but somewhat creamy (about 30 seconds).
- Step 2
In a mixing bowl combine the cornmeal, flour, baking powder, salt and pepper. Add the corn and mix well.
- Step 3
In a separate bowl, combine the eggs, egg yolks and butter. Add the cornmeal mixture, mix thoroughly and stir in the chives.
- Step 4
Heat one tablespoon clarified butter in a small non-stick skillet. Add a ladleful of batter and saute on both sides. Keep warm. There should be enough batter for three small pancakes a person. Use the rest of the butter as needed.

To serve, arrange three pancakes on each plate and garnish with smoked corn relish, a dollop of creme fraiche and a spoonful of basil leaves on top of each pancake.
