Gather a few humble ingredients together to make these Sweet Chili Corn Cakes – fresh corn, cheddar cheese, roasted peppers and green onions. Fragrant chili powder adds a subtle heat and spice and buttermilk and eggs bring all the ingredients together to make a savory version of pancakes. I love to serve these drizzled with Thai sweet chili sauce a dollop of sour cream, a squirt of fresh lime juice and soft butter lettuce leaves I like to wrap around the corn cakes and each in my hands.

SWEET CHILI CORN CAKES

This recipe is from a past life of mine a million years ago – my cookbook – Simple, Fresh, Delicious I published in 2005. Because my parents enjoyed this recipe so much, they made it over and over. I’ve changed the recipe up from its original creation. Making it even better. But if my parents loved it, I knew I had to share the recipe. I do, as I’ve mentioned before, come from a family of gourmands.

Straight forward to make, these corn cakes are good for a hearty starter, a meat-free main or brunch. For those who can’t pass on meat, add some crispy chopped bacon. Toodles, Lovoni xo

If you’re a corn lover like me, then you might like: Corn, Jalapeno, Bacon and Cheese Muffins or Mexican Corn and Jalapeno Loaf.

Ingredients

US Customary – Metric
  • 1 cup self-rising flour
  • 2 teaspoons chili powder
  • A good pinch of sea salt and freshly ground black pepper
