Blackberry Corn Cakes with Peach-Maple Ice Cream
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 2/3 cup stone-ground yellow cornmeal
- 1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
- 3 tablespoons granulated sugar
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 2 ears of corn, kernels removed, cobs reserved
- 1 1/2 cups milk
- 2 large eggs, separated
- 5 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted, plus more for the griddle
- 1 pint blackberries, halved lengthwise
- Confectioners' sugar, for dusting
- Peach-Maple Ice Cream
- Preheat the oven to 200.
- In a large bowl, whisk the flour, cornmeal, baking powder, granulated sugar and salt.
- Working over a blender, use a table knife to scrape the milky liquid from the corn cobs.
- Add half of the corn kernels, the milk and the egg yolks to the blender and puree until smooth.
- Whisk the corn puree into the dry ingredients.
- Fold in the melted butter and the remaining corn kernels.
- Using an electric mixer, beat the egg whites until stiff peaks form.
- Fold the beaten whites into the batter, then carefully fold in the blackberries.
- Heat a large griddle.
- Brush lightly with butter.
- For each cake, pour a scant 1/4 cup of batter onto the griddle and cook over moderate heat until small bubbles appear on the surface, about 3 minutes.
- Flip the corn cakes and cook until golden, about 2 minutes longer.
- Transfer the corn cakes to a baking sheet and keep warm in the oven while you prepare the rest.
- Stack 4 or 5 corn cakes on each plate and dust with confectioners' sugar.
- Top each stack with a scoop of Peach-Maple Ice Cream and serve right away.
