Corn and halloumi savoury pancakes
Posted: March 13, 2022 Updated: April 27, 2025
I often don’t know what to call these, fritters? Savoury pancakes? Given they stem from my gluten -free pancake recipe I’m inclined to say pancakes – let’s go with savoury corn and halloumi pancakes.
This is a recipe I come back to regularly, it’s quick, easy and satisfying. It uses basic ingredients that you’ll have in your pantry and fridge / freezer. It also pairs well as a side with other dishes. We usually eat these alongside baked salmon or grilled meats like pork loin.
Ingredients
Corn I’ve used both fresh and frozen corn when making this recipe, both are delicious. If using frozen corn then make sure it’s fully defrosted. Taking it out 30 – 45 mins beforehand and leaving it on the bench or giving it a quick zap in the microwave (30 seconds should do it).
Flour I’ve always used gluten-free self-raising flour when making these, if you don’t have this then use all-purpose / plain flour and add 2 tsp of baking powder for every cup of flour.
Milk any milk will do with this, so you can easily substitute for a dairy free option.
Eggs I always use free range eggs, we tend to buy large eggs. One egg will suffice for a small batch. I haven’t tried making this egg free but I’d love to hear if anyone tries an egg substitute.
Cheese I don’t always use halloumi when I make these, in fact quite often I make it without the cheese and these pancakes are still just as good. Halloumi is ideal as it doesn’t melt, meaning no burnt cheesy edges around your pancakes.
