-
1/3 cup cornmeal

1 egg or 2 egg whites - lightly beaten

In large bowl, sift together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, sugar and salt. Stir in cornmeal.
In another bowl, mix together the beaten egg, buttermilk, oil, corn, chiles, cilantro and scallions. Add to dry ingredients. Stir to combine.
Place a griddle or large frying pan over medium-high heat. When hot, brush with oil, then drop batter by large tablespoonfuls onto griddle. Cook until tiny holes form on each pancake. Turn pancakes and brown on other side.
When serving, provide salsa and sour cream to spoon over pancakes.
These savory pancakes are full of Southwestern flavor from cilantro and roasted chiles. Top them with sour cream and salsa.
