- 3In another bowl, mix coconut milk and egg, then stir into the dry ingredients just until combined.
- 4Fold in the charred corn and green onions, leaving the batter a little lumpy.
- 5Blend sour cream with lime zest and chili paste for the topping.
- 6Cook the batter in lightly oiled skillet spoonfuls over medium heat until bubbles appear and the edges set, then flip and finish cooking.

- A well-heated skillet helps the corn develop a deeper smoky flavor.
- The topping can be thinned with a splash of milk if you want a drizzle rather than a dollop.
