Recipe

Drain 1 can of sweet corn through a sieve to remove excess liquid. There's no need to squeeze it too firmly.
Place the drained corn in a bowl and add just a tiny splash of water to keep it moist.
First add 3 tablespoons of starch powder and mix, then check the consistency and add 2 more tablespoons until the batter is thick and clumps together without dripping.
Add a pinch of seasoned salt to the batter to enhance the sweetness and season it lightly.
Pour a generous amount of cooking oil into a frying pan and heat it up to preheat.
Over high heat, spread the batter thinly and evenly in the pan and fry until crispy, like deep-frying in oil.
When the pancake slides around as one solid piece when you shake the pan, confidently flip it at the right moment.
Press down firmly on the other side as it cooks until crispy, then sprinkle a generous, even layer of sugar on top to finish.

Drain the canned corn and mix with starch powder, a little water, and seasoned salt to make a thick batter.
In a generously oiled pan, fry over high heat like deep-frying until crispy.
When both sides are golden brown, sprinkle sugar generously to taste and serve.

Cooking tips

If the starch concentration in the batter is too thin, the pancake will tear easily, so make sure the starch clings thickly to the corn kernels.
Starch doesn't burn easily, so fry it over higher heat than regular pancakes, like deep-frying, to achieve a crispy outside and chewy inside.
The sugar sprinkled at the end combines with the saltiness of the seasoned salt to maximize the addictive sweet-and-salty flavor, so sprinkling it generously is key.
