Description

These savory corncakes are a delightful twist on traditional cornbread, offering a tender crumb with a satisfyingly crisp exterior. Made with a blend of all-purpose flour and yellow cornmeal, they feature the sweet natural flavor of creamed corn and fresh kernels. A touch of paprika adds warmth and color, while minced onion provides a savory depth. Perfect as a side dish for chili or stew, or as a unique appetizer, these cakes are easy to prepare and cook quickly on a griddle. The batter rests briefly to develop flavor before being pan-fried to golden perfection.

Ingredients

Directions

  1. In a medium bowl, sift together the all-purpose flour, yellow cornmeal, baking powder, and paprika.
  2. In a separate small bowl, whisk together the canned creamed corn, beaten egg, milk, and vegetable oil until smooth.
  3. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir gently until just combined. Do not overmix.
  4. Cover the bowl and refrigerate the batter for at least one hour to rest.
  5. Remove batter from the refrigerator and fold in the fresh corn kernels and minced onion.
  6. Heat a griddle or large skillet over medium heat and grease lightly with oil.
  7. Drop tablespoonfuls of batter onto the hot griddle, spacing them apart to allow for spreading.
  8. Cook for about 2 minutes per side, or until golden brown and cooked through.
  9. Transfer cooked corncakes to a baking sheet and keep warm in a 200&# 194;°F (93ðC) oven while finishing the remaining batches.
