Corn Cakes


These savory corn cakes are a great side dish on the menu. To add a bit more zip serve with sour cream, salsa, and extra herbs.

Ingredients:
  • 1/3 cup flour
  • 1/3 cup cornmeal
  • 1 tablespoon fresh parsley, chopped fine
  • 1/4 teaspoon dry mustard
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon pepper
  • 1/2 cup cheddar cheese, shredded
  • 1 1/2 cups corn, cooked and drained
  • 1/4 cup buttermilk
  • 1 egg
  • 1 tablespoon butter, melted
Method:
  1. In a medium size bowl combine dry ingredients with shredded cheese and set aside.
  2. In another bowl whisk together corn, buttermilk, egg, and melted butter.
  3. Pour corn mixture over dry ingredients and stir just until moistened, like you would a muffin batter.
  4. Scoop batter for each cake on a hot grill (set at 350ยบ) which has been lightly greased.
  5. They will spread a bit so no need to flatten them.
  6. Cook for 4 or 5 minutes on one side, until brown at the edges, flip, and cook another 4 minutes.
  7. Yield: 7 cakes

    These look very good Betty. I like the addition of buttermilk. It's os nice having a new take on a side dish.
    They also make a great appetizer (check the MGCC appetizer section for a smaller version)

    I made these for supper the other night, Betty and they were wonderful. We followed your suggestion and ate them with salsa and sour cream which really complimented the flavour of the corn.

    Gosh, Betty, these look so good. When I was a kid, corn was the one vegetable I'd eat. Methinks I need a platterful of these :)
