Steps:
- Bring water to a boil in a saucepan and stir in sugar, butter, and salt until sugar has dissolved. Turn heat to low and whisk in 1 cup of cornmeal until smooth. Stir in remaining 1/2 cup cornmeal to make a very thick, workable dough.
- Heat 3 cups vegetable oil in a deep-fryer or large saucepan to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease your hands well with 2 teaspoons of oil and scoop about 3 tablespoons of cornmeal dough; roll the dough into a ball, then shape into a 3-inch long stick about 1/2 inch wide. Repeat with remaining dough, oiling your hands as needed. Deep-fry the cornmeal sticks until golden brown, working in batches of 3 or 4 at a time. Drain fried cornmeal sticks on paper towels and keep warm.
- Mix mayonnaise, ketchup, and garlic salt in a bowl until well combined; serve cornmeal sticks with the sauce for dipping.

BISQUICK TOASTER CORN CAKES (OR CORN STICKS)
I love foods using cornmeal and enjoy cornbread/muffins. I was having a casual dinner party with chili and I wanted to dress up my dinner a bit, so I decided to "enhance" my muffins by using a muffin-top pan (makes flat muffins, resembling a toaster cake). These cooked up exactly how I hoped, crusty outside, soft inside, and in a perfect circle. I then "topped" the chili with them. They looked so picture perfect, and received much praise. They are delicious as leftovers since they don't crumble. The recipe (Bisquick Cookbook) makes them in a loaf pan and you cut them into sticks. I have not tried that yet, but remembering their great texture (and great photo) I'm sure they'd set up nicely. I doubled the recipe exactly. Did I mention the leftovers are fabulous smeared with honey!

CORN STICKS
The best part of corn bread is the crust. The worst part are the crumbs from the center. Corn sticks are almost all crust, crumbs are at a minimum. If you don't have a bread stick pan, shop around for one that bakes real bread sticks, think Italian Restaurant, You know, 1/2 inch round and 10 inches long. It will be worth the trouble.

Steps:
- 1. DIce olives and pimientos and set aside Grate cheese and set aside Premeasure corn meal, add salt, sugar, paprika and cayenne pepper; set aside Place all these bowls in easy reach because you'll need to move quickly when preparing polenta.

On paper, roll until sticks are about 1/4 to 1/2" thick by 3" long. Set aside on edge of paper until all polenta mixture has been formed into sticks (this will make about 24 sticks)

Tips for Making the Best Corn Sticks:
- Use fresh corn kernels. Fresh corn kernels will give your corn sticks the best flavor and texture. If you can't find fresh corn, you can use frozen corn kernels, but thaw them completely before using.
- Don't overmix the batter. Overmixing the batter will make your corn sticks tough. Mix just until the ingredients are combined.
- Let the batter rest for 5 minutes before cooking. This will allow the cornmeal to absorb the liquid and make the batter thicker.
- Cook the corn sticks in a hot greased pan. This will help them to brown evenly and get crispy on the outside.
- Serve the corn sticks hot with your favorite dipping sauce. Corn sticks are delicious with butter, honey, or maple syrup.
Conclusion:
Corn sticks are a delicious and easy-to-make side dish that can be enjoyed by people of all ages. With just a few simple ingredients, you can create a batch of corn sticks that are sure to please everyone at your table. So next time you're looking for a quick and tasty side dish, give corn sticks a try!
