Notes

  • You can swap out all purpose flour for same amount of whole wheat or gluten free flour.
  • Depending on the flour you use and the texture, you made need + or – milk to make sure the consistency is like pancake batter.
  • You don’t need much oil, remember you are shallow frying these, not keeping frying.
  • If you have any leftovers, pop them in the air fryer next day at 400F for 5-7 mins.
  • Cook the poblano pepper and corn kernels for a little bit in a cast iron skillet for a smokey charred taste, trust me you won’t regret skipping this step!
