1 cup all-purpose flour

1 cup cornmeal

2 teaspoons baking powder

Âľ teaspoon kosher salt

3 large eggs

ÂĽ cup butter, melted

½ cup whole milk

½ cup sour cream

Put the corn kernels in the bowl of a food processor and pulse several times until they’re coarsely ground but not completely pureed. Set aside.
