I recently went to a tapas bar that served corn cakes with sausage and a spicy arugula salad. This was my attempt to recreate this. Like the dish I tried in the restaurant, I added some sweet corn to this by cutting the corn off one ear of raw corn and adding 3/4 of that to the batter and reserving the rest as a garnish; I definitely recommend adding that for a little extra sweetness and crunch. I served this with asiago spinach chicken sausage. Be careful to keep the heat under the griddle a little lower than you would use for pancakes because these will cook faster and you'll be stuck with uncooked dough in the middle.
