By Pebbles-2

Feel free to double the batch and freeze. Serve with homemade tartar sauce.

Ingredients

• 1 cup flour
• 1/4 cup cornmeal
• 3 TBS chopped chives
• 1 1/2 tsp baking powder
• salt
• 1/8 tsp ground red pepper
• 1/2 cup buttermilk
• 2 eggs
• 3/4 cups corn (I'm using fresh corn cooked and taken off the cob)
• 8 oz. lump crab meat, picked over
• 1/4 cup vegetable oil

Preparation

Step 1

Combine flour, cornmeal, chives, baking powder, salt, and red pepper in a large bowl. Mix.

Combine buttermilk and eggs in a bowl and mix well. Add egg mixture, corn and crab meat to the flour mixture, stirring gently.

Heat a large skillet with 2 TBS oil. Heat till oil is hot and shimmery. Drop 4, 1/4 cup cup batter mounds in the pan. Cook on one side for 4 minutes until golden brown, turn and cook for 2 minutes longer. Repeat adding 2 TBS oil to pan until all the batter is used. Keep in a warm oven.
Serve with tartar sauce.
