Bacon ricotta corn cakes recipe
These moist, flavourful pancakes are particularly delicious topped with a poached egg for breakfast or brunch. They are also fabulous served at dinner alongside ham or grilled salmon. They are as easy to make as any pancake, and are best served straight from the griddle for a perfect crisp exterior.

Step-by-step
- Pulse the sweetcorn in a food processor to a coarse purée. Add the eggs, ricotta and milk and pulse just until combined.
- In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, polenta, sugar, baking powder, bicarbonate of soda and salt. Make a well in the centre of the dry ingredients and pour in the corn mixture. Stir to combine in just a few strokes. Fold in the cooked bacon.
- Heat a griddle over a medium heat. Coat liberally with cooking spray or melted butter. Spoon a ladleful of the batter onto the hot griddle and cook until golden brown or crispy, about 2 minutes per side. Repeat with the remaining batter.
- Serve the corn cakes immediately or keep warm in the oven (set to its lowest setting) until ready to serve. Top with poached eggs, if desired.
