Shop these in one order
Mello puts these ingredients on one shopping list with the rest of your week, and anything two recipes share is added together. The list then goes to Sainsbury's in the UK or Careem Quik in the UAE.
Add to a shopping listHow the shopping list works →- Step 1
If using fresh corn, remove kernels from the cobs. Blend about half the kernels with the milk until mostly smooth, then stir in the remaining whole kernels.
- Step 2
In a bowl, mix cornmeal, plain flour, baking powder and salt. Stir in the corn-milk mixture and egg until you have a thick batter.
- Step 3
Heat a non-stick frying pan over medium heat and add the butter.
- Step 4
Spoon batter into the pan to form 10–12 cm pancakes (cook in batches). Cook 3–4 minutes until set and golden, then flip and cook a further 3–4 minutes.
- Step 5
Serve hot with cheddar cheese melted on top (or fold filling inside if you prefer).
