Yield Makes 3 1/2 dozen

Number Of Ingredients 12

1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
1/4 cup sugar
1/2 cup yellow cornmeal
1 tablespoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 1/4 cups milk
2 large eggs, room temperature
1/3 cup vegetable oil, plus more for pan
3 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
1 15 1/4-ounce can corn kernels, drained
8 ounces fresh goat cheese, thinly sliced
1 cup pepper jelly

Steps:

  • Whisk together flour, sugar, cornmeal, baking powder, and salt in a medium bowl. In a small bowl, whisk together milk, eggs, oil, and butter until smooth and combined. Add milk mixture to flour mixture, and stir just until batter is combined; fold in corn kernels.
  • Heat a cast-iron skillet over medium heat, and rub with enough oil to coat surface. Drop batter by the tablespoon to make 2-inch cakes. Cook until underside is golden brown, 45 to 60 seconds; turn over, and continue cooking until other side is browned and cake is heated through, about 1 minute. To serve, top each cake with a slice of goat cheese and a dollop of pepper jelly.
