Simple Corn-Flour Pancake Recipe
Makes: 8–10 medium pancakes | Prep & cook: ~10 minutes
Ingredients
- 1 cup plain wheat flour (sieved)
- ⅓–½ cup Green Unison Corn Flour — Nature Powered Corn Flour (product page with sizes and delivery options)
- 2 tbsp sugar (adjust to taste)
- 2 tsp baking powder
- Pinch of salt
- 1 large egg
- 1 cup milk (or plant-based milk)
- 1–2 tbsp oil or melted butter (plus extra for frying)
- Honey or syrup to serve
Optional: For an even softer crumb, mix in a small amount of plantain flour. See plantain flour and other items on the Green Unison Shop (plantain flour and all products).
Method
- In a bowl, sieve the wheat flour and add the corn flour. Add sugar, baking powder and a pinch of salt. Whisk to combine and remove any lumps.
- In a separate bowl, whisk the egg with the milk and oil.
- Pour the wet mix into the dry mix and whisk gently until you have a thick, smooth batter. Rest 5–10 minutes to let the flours hydrate.
- Heat a frying pan on medium and grease lightly. Pour the batter (about ¼ cup per pancake). Wait for bubbles to form on the surface and the edges to look set, then flip and cook until golden.
- Stack, drizzle with honey and enjoy.
Tip: If the batter feels too thin, add a dash more corn flour. If too thick, loosen with a splash of milk. Aim for a thick, smooth, consistent batter before cooking.
Why Green Unison corn flour works so well
- Natural sweetness: corn adds a pleasant, subtle sweetness so you can reduce added sugar.
- Fine milling → smooth batter: Green Unison corn flour blends easily, producing a silky, lump-free batter that cooks into a tender pancake.
- Fluffy texture: with the right leavening (baking powder) and a gentle whisk, pancakes rise light and airy.
- Versatile: use on its own for gluten-free pancakes or blend with plantain flour for extra softness.
