Directions

  1. Pour commencer, pour a large frying pan with a generous layer of oil, and heat it over medium-high heat, but not too high: if the heat is too intense, the corn kernels will burst and splatter the oil.
  2. Mix the flour and yeast, then add the corn, eggs, and Emmental cheese by hand. ≈ 4 min
  3. Place three tablespoons of dough in the frying pan and flatten each one with a spatula.
  4. Cook until the edges are golden brown, then gently flip and cook for 1-2 minutes on the other side; reduce the heat if the center is still liquid.
  5. Drain the pancakes on paper towels and cook the remaining batter in the same way. Rinse the salad bowl immediately with hot water.
