Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Blend the Batter: In a blender, combine fresh corn, egg, milk, melted butter, cornflour, all-purpose flour, sugar, salt, and minced garlic (if using). Blend until smooth, about 1-2 minutes.
  2. Prepare the Skillet: Heat a nonstick skillet over medium heat for 2-3 minutes. Add a light coating of oil.
  3. Cook the Pancakes: Pour a generous amount of batter into the skillet. Cook for 2-3 minutes until bubbles form, then flip to cook for another 2 minutes.
  4. Flip and Add Toppings: When edges look set, flip the pancake and optionally place jalapeño slices on the uncooked side before flipping.
  5. Cheese It Up: After flipping, sprinkle shredded mozzarella over one half of the pancake, fold over, and cook for another 1-2 minutes.
  6. Repeat the Process: Lightly grease the skillet as needed and continue with remaining batter.
  7. Serve and Enjoy: Serve immediately with a dollop of sour cream if desired.
