Corn Lovers Unite.
I love corn. Corn on the cob, corn tortillas, corn meal-based anything. In elementary school, for Thanksgiving Day cards, I was always thankful for corn. Why not, right? I do live in Indiana. Grew up in the country, a 30 minute car drive away from most of the other kids and school. Back then, the few country kids got together to throw corn at cars (hey, nobody’s perfect), now I cook with it. Check out the very simple recipe…
Southwestern Corn Cakes
1 (6.5 oz.) package cornbread/muffin mix
2 T. melted butter
2 eggs
1/3 c. milk
1 can (14-3/4 oz.) cream style corn
Melt butter in medium-sized microwavable bowl in the microwave for 30 seconds or until melted. Whisk in eggs and milk. Stir in cornbread/muffin mix. Add canned corn.
Melt some butter, or heat oil in skillet over medium heat. Pour batter by 1/3 cupfuls into skillet. Turn when bubbles appear on top and edges appear to be drying (like pancakes).
Serve on plate with dollops of sour cream, salsa, guacamole.
P.S. I also like these with butter and syrup for breakfast.
