Ingredients
¾cupalmond milk + 1 tablespoon apple cider vinegarcan sub distilled white vinegar
6tablespoonsmasa harina
6tablespoonscornmeal
6tablespoonsoat flour
¼teaspoonsalt
½teaspoonbaking powder
½teaspoonbaking soda
2tablespoonsvegetable oilor any other fat
1tablespoonhoney
½cupfresh corn kernels
1medium tomatosliced thinly width-wise
Instructions
Combine the milk and vinegar and let sit while you combine the dry ingredients. In a medium bowl, combine the flours, salt, baking powder and baking soda. Whisk the oil and honey into the milk mixture and then pour the wet mixture into dry. Stir until just combined—lumps are good. Fold in the corn. Let sit for 10 minutes, undisturbed, until mixture is thickened and sludgy.
Heat a skillet over medium heat. Once it’s too hot to touch, lightly grease the pan with a spritz of oil and drop quarter cups of batter into the pan (don’t overcrowd the pan). Let cook about two minutes. Once the top of the pancakes begin to look dry, press a slice of tomato into the pancake, pressing down so that batter squishes up around/through the tomato. Carefully flip (making sure the surface you flip the pancake on is well-greased) and cook for another two minutes, or until cooked through.
Serve with a sprinkle of sugar, honey. Cheese? Maybe people do that.
