Creamy Crab On Corn Pancakes Recipe

With an electric mixer, beat together cream cheese, mayonnaise, chipotle, and cumin in a medium bowl. Turn mixer to low and mix in crabmeat, green onions, cilantro, and lime zest. Season to taste with salt and pepper.

To prepare the corn pancakes, in a medium bowl, stir together the cornmeal, flour, salt, baking powder, and sugar. In a glass measuring cup or small bowl, mix together the egg, butter, and buttermilk. Add wet mexture to the dry ingredients and blend well; fold in green onions and jalapeno.

Heat a medium nonstick skillet over medium heat and spray lightly with vegetable oil. Drop batter by teaspoonfuls into the pan, forming circles 1 1/2 to 2 inches in diameter. Cook until golden brown, turning once. Remove and cool on a wire rack.

Spread each pancake with some of the crab mixture and garnish with a cilantro leaf. Serve on a decorative platter.
