Way yummy. The flavor of fresh corn, peppers and green onion seasoned with cumin was incredible. They were slightly crunchy on the outside and formed into a small patty. Colorful and delicious. I served these with grilled flank steak. Thanks Nurse Di :)

Oooh yum! I just love these. I easily made them gluten-free, just like the corn pancakes in this recipe: http://everything-tasty.blogspot.com/2010/07/smoked-salmon-on-corn-pancakes-anne.html Next time, I'd like to try using a mildly spicy pepper: poblano, maybe? Many thanks for the great end-of-summer recipe.

These were very good! I halved the recipe, but made no other changes. Nice blend of flavors in them. A keeper for sure!
