FRESH CORN CAKES



Fresh Corn Cakes image

Corn's always been the basis of my favorite recipes-in fact, these corn cakes were one of the first things I made for my husband. For dinner, they're nice with fresh fruit salad and ham. They're also great with breakfast sausage and orange juice. Tom works for the highway department on Mount Hood, and we live at its base. Our children are 19, 16 and 13.

Provided by Trisha Yearwood

Categories     side-dish

Time 25m

Yield 6 pancakes

Number Of Ingredients 12

1/2 cup all-purpose flour
1/2 cup yellow cornmeal
1 tablespoon sugar
1 tablespoon baking powder
1 teaspoon kosher salt
2 tablespoons unsalted butter, plus extra for cooking corn cakes
1 large egg
1 cup low-fat buttermilk
1/2 cup shredded sharp Cheddar
1/3 cup canned corn, rinsed and drained, optional
1 tablespoon dried chives
Serving suggestions: butter and maple syrup

Steps:

  • Whisk together the flour, cornmeal, sugar, baking powder and salt in a mixing bowl.
  • Melt the butter in a large nonstick skillet over medium heat. Set aside to cool slightly while you prepare the wet ingredients.
  • Whisk together the egg and buttermilk in a large mixing bowl. While whisking, pour in the melted butter and stir until combined. Stir in the dry ingredients just until combined. (Be sure not to overwork the batter.) Fold in the Cheddar, corn, if using, and chives.

Cook until bubbles appear on the surface, 1 to 2 minutes. Flip over and cook until golden brown, about 1 to 2 minutes more. Melt a small pat of butter in the skillet in between each batch (this will help the corn cakes rise). Serve immediately, with more butter and maple syrup, if desired.

1 cup cornmeal (recommended: Indian Head)
1/4 cup sugar
1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
Kosher salt

When the oil begins to swirl, add the batter in batches to the pan using a small ice cream scoop or 1/4 cup measure to make each hoecake. Gently spread into a circle, if needed.

Tips:

  • Choose the right cornmeal. Stone-ground cornmeal will give your corn cakes a more rustic flavor, while finely-ground cornmeal will produce a smoother texture.
  • Don't overmix the batter. Overmixing will make the corn cakes tough. Mix just until the ingredients are combined.
  • Let the batter rest. This will allow the cornmeal to absorb the liquid and produce a more tender corn cake.
  • Cook the corn cakes over medium heat. This will prevent them from burning and ensure that they cook evenly throughout.
  • Serve the corn cakes immediately. They are best when hot and fresh.

Conclusion:

Corn cakes are a delicious and versatile dish that can be enjoyed for breakfast, lunch, or dinner. They are also a great way to use up leftover cornmeal. With so many different recipes to choose from, you're sure to find one that you'll love. So next time you're looking for a quick and easy meal, give corn cakes a try!
