Where to find ingredients
Fresh corn can be found at local farmers' markets or the produce section of most grocery stores. Standard pantry staples like milk, flour, eggs, and cheese are available in any local supermarket dairy or baking aisle.
Preparation
- Wash the ears of corn thoroughly and remove all the silk
- Cut the kernels off the cobs with a knife and set them aside in a bowl
- Place the corn kernels and the milk into a blender
- Blend the mixture well
- Add the all-purpose flour to the blender
- Blend again to incorporate
- Pass the mixture through a fine-mesh sieve to remove the fiber
- Transfer the liquid to a pot and place over low heat
- Stir constantly until thickened to prevent the dough from forming lumps
- Transfer the cream to a baking dish and let it cool completely
- Mix the egg yolk into the cold dough
- Work the dough with hands dusted in all-purpose flour
- Roll the dough into long cylinders on a surface sprinkled with flour
- Cut the cylinders into small pieces, the size of traditional gnocchi
- Cook the pieces in boiling water until they rise to the surface
- Remove the gnocchi from the water and place them in a serving dish
- Cover with a sauce of your choice
- Finish by sprinkling grated Parmesan cheese on top
- Place in the oven just long enough to gratinate and turn golden
Notes
This recipe uses fresh corn on the cob to create a light and delicious dough. The secret lies in consistent stirring while cooking to reach the perfect consistency before shaping and finishing in the oven.
