Corn and Scallion Latkes: A Delicious Twist on Traditional Latkes
Corn and Scallion Latkes are a mouth-watering twist on traditional latkes that will leave your taste buds begging for more. These crispy, golden-brown pancakes are made with fresh corn, scallions, and a few other simple ingredients that come together to create a dish that is both savory and sweet.

Ingredients (serves 4):

- 2 cups fresh corn kernels
- 1/2 cup chopped scallions
- 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
- 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
- 2 large eggs, beaten
- 2 tablespoons vegetable oil

Cooking Tips:

- Use fresh corn for the best flavor and texture.
- Be sure to drain any excess liquid from the corn before mixing it with the other ingredients.
- Don't overmix the batter - it should be lumpy.
- Use a non-stick skillet or griddle for best results.

Instructions:

1. In a large bowl, combine the corn, scallions, flour, baking powder, salt, and pepper.
2. Add the beaten eggs and stir until the batter is just combined.
3. Heat the vegetable oil in a large non-stick skillet or griddle over medium-high heat.
4. Drop the batter by spoonfuls onto the hot skillet, flattening each latke slightly with the back of the spoon.
5. Cook the latkes for 2-3 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and crispy.
6. Serve the latkes hot, garnished with additional scallions if desired.
