You may have noticed we go in for decadent weekend breakfasts in a big way round here. Monday to Friday I’m strictly a tea and porridge kind of girl, but when Saturday rolls around I like to go all out. We’re also on a bit of a Mexican kick at the moment, so this recipe for fluffy corn and chilli pancakes, which I adapted from Jamie’s 15 Minute Meals, really hits the spot.
Arguably the best thing about this dish is that it’s ridiculously easy to prepare, making it perfect for those of us who aren’t fully compos mentis until at least 11am, but have a family that want feeding at nine.
You will need:-
1 cup of self-raising flour
1 large egg
1 cup of semi-skimmed milk
1 fresh chilli
40g cheddar cheese
A generous handful of frozen sweetcorn
Olive oil
1. Whisk the flour, egg and milk in a bowl with a pinch of salt until smooth.
2. Finely slice the chilli and grate the cheese before folding them both into the batter with the sweetcorn.
3. Drizzle one teaspoon of oil into a small frying pan on a medium heat. Add a ladleful of batter and spread it out towards the edges. Flip when golden and remove to a plate once done.
See? Simple. This makes enough pancakes for 4 people.
Now, let’s talk toppings. You can easily keep this breakfast veggie by adding chopped avocado and tomato drenched in a little lime juice and sprinkled with fresh coriander. Alternatively, if you’re after something a little meatier, then I can highly recommend a few rashers of maple glazed bacon or pancetta. Cook the bacon in a frying pan over a medium-low heat, turning when crisp and golden. Drizzle with maple syrup, glaze for 20 seconds and then remove from the heat.
If you have it to hand, these are also good with a dollop of natural yogurt or sour cream and some chilli sauce for that extra kick.

Franky, I recently discovered your blog and I’m in love, love, love. After reading just a bit, I felt such inspiration and freedom for creating my own content. You inspired me to tear down some of the fences I had built around my own blogging. So thank you for that, and for your passion and celebration of our lady Audrey. I would really like to try this recipe…perhaps a good Valentine breakfast for my honey.
Best,
C
P.S. I hope that when you open this and find my praise, you will not mistake it for some of the spammy things that come–because I mean it most sincerely.
Thank you for leaving such a kind comment for me to wake up to this morning! I’m thrilled you discovered Love Audrey and that you enjoy my posts so much. Be sure to let me know how your pancakes turn out and have a lovely weekend 🙂
