Corn Pancakes a la Floriani

Reader Contribution by Staff

Grain corn is a terrific option for anyone trying to eat more local and seasonal foods. But you need to find a variety to buy (or grow in your garden) that has good flavor, and most of the common yellow dent corn raised around the world is not a good choice; it’s flavor is bland. Here at MOTHER EARTH NEWS, we recommend an heirloom open-pollinated red flint corn called ‘Floriani Red Flint’; it has a wonderful corn flavor. (Seeds are available from Southern Exposure Seed Exchange and FEDCO seed co-op.) Here’s the recipe we’ve developed for corn pancakes using ‘Floriani’ corn.

Ingredients:
1 cup fresh, coarsely ground cornmeal
4 cups water
Salt, to taste
1 cup wheat flour
