PUFFY CORN PANCAKE WITH BLACKBERRY SAUCE
This pancake is similar to a recipe that ran in The Times in 1966 called David Eyre's pancake, named for a man whose fame seems to rest mainly on this tasty invention. Here, in addition to the corn kernels I wanted to use up, I stirred in some cornmeal to highlight the corn factor. Because cornmeal can make things heavy and I feared the pancake might become too dense, I increased the number of eggs in the batter to help it rise and puff. I mixed in a little black pepper to contrast with the sweetness of the corn, and then simmered together a speedy blackberry syrup to drizzle on top. The recipe is versatile enough to make over and over, and I'm sure it will take me through the end of corn season.

Steps:
- Heat oven to 425 degrees. Place the butter in the bottom of a 2-quart gratin dish. Place in the oven and cook until butter begins to bubble, 5 to 7 minutes.
- Meanwhile, in a large bowl, whisk together flour and cornmeal. In a separate bowl, whisk together eggs and milk. Stir the wet ingredients into the dry. Whisk in honey, salt and pepper. Stir in the corn. Remove dish from the oven and pour in the batter evenly. Return to the oven and bake until the pancake rises and is dark brown around the edges, 20 to 25 minutes. The center of the pancake should also be golden brown.
- While the pancake cooks, make the sauce: In a medium saucepan over medium heat, combine blackberries and sugar. Bring to a simmer and cook until berries are soft and syrupy. Remove from heat and serve warm, spooned over pancake in the gratin dish.

BLACKBERRY CORN COBBLER
This cobbler substitutes fresh, juicy kernels and corn milk for traditional heavy cream, taking advantage of the sweetness of seasonal corn and adding texture to a buttery crust. Grating two large ears of corn should produce enough liquid for the topping, but, if not, you can grate a third ear, or add cream or milk. The rich, crumbly crust also gets some of its moisture from the filling, which is extra syrupy from the mashed blackberries. Serve the cobbler warm with a splash of heavy cream, a dollop of coconut yogurt, or a scoop of vanilla ice cream. Finishing it all off with a drizzle of dark rum, while not necessary, is especially sweet.

Steps:
- Heat the oven to 375 degrees and grease the inside of a 9-by-9-inch square casserole dish with butter.
- In a medium bowl, toss the mashed blackberries with ⅔ cup granulated sugar, ¼ cup flour, the lemon juice and ¼ teaspoon salt. Taste and add additional sugar, if necessary. Transfer the mixture to the baking dish in an even layer and set aside.
- Using a box grater, grate the corn over a bowl to collect its meat and milk; discard the corn cobs or reserve for another use. Transfer corn mixture to a liquid measuring cup. (The grated corn mixture should measure a healthy ¾ cup; if not, supplement with extra corn, heavy cream or milk.) Set aside.
- In a large bowl, whisk together the remaining 1¼ cups flour, ⅓ cup granulated sugar with the cornmeal, baking powder and ¾ teaspoon salt. Add the cubed butter, separating the cubes and tossing them individually to coat. Pressing the bits of butter between your thumb and the side of your index finger, break up the butter into the flour until evenly dispersed and butter pieces are roughly the size of peas.
- Slowly pour the grated corn over the flour mixture, and, working gently with your hands, begin tossing everything together until the ingredients form a cohesive dough. Crumble the batter over the surface of the berries, and using a pastry brush, brush the top generously with the heavy cream. Sprinkle the batter evenly with the turbinado sugar.
- Place the baking dish on a sheet pan to catch any potential overflow, transfer to the oven and bake until the crust is golden and the blackberries are bubbling and thick, 35 to 40 minutes. Allow to cool at least 10 minutes before serving.
