Instructions

  1. Process corn, cream, salt, melted butter, and optional cornstarch in a food processor until a smooth, thick batter forms.

  2. Heat a lightly oiled skillet over medium-low heat.

  3. Pour 1/4 to 1/3 cup of batter into the skillet, spreading it into a circle.

  4. Cook until bubbles appear and the bottom is firm; flip and cook the other side for several minutes, keeping heat low to prevent burning.

  5. Continue cooking all batter in batches.

  6. Spread cooked pancakes with butter and cream cheese or top with grated fresh cheese.

  7. Fold pancakes in half and serve.
