17. Then remove the Corn Kernels
Cooking
23. Melt a portion of the Butter (½ Cup or 120 g) in a frying pan
24. Scoop a batter and start cooking
25. To make perfectly round pancakes, I like to use a metal ring
26. If you are using a metal ring, oil it first, so to make sure the batter won't stick to it
That's it!
You may serve them right away, or place in the fridge for the next day
