creamed corn cakes
The perfect side-dish or a meal unto themselves, these cakes are amazingly comforting. Warm, from the skillet with a tall glass of milk, they will lull you into a sense of comfort. Chilled, from the fridge for breakfast with a small dollop of spicy mayo, they're a perfect pick-me-up.
ingredients:
| |
3 cups frozen kernels, defrosted
|
| |
1 tablespoon unsalted butter
|
| |
½ Vidalia onion, diced small
|
| |
½ tablespoon sugar
|
| |
½ teaspoon turmeric
|
| |
1 tablespoon yellow cornmeal
|
| |
¼ cup half and half cream
|
| |
½ cup whole milk
|
| |
Kosher Salt
|
| |
Freshly cracked black pepper to taste
|
| |
1 tablespoon chopped fresh parsley
|
| |
1 egg, whisked
|
| |
vegetable oil, for cooking
|
| |
½ cup flour |
directions:
1. In a large pot, melt butter on medium. Add onion and cook gently until it is translucent.
2. Add corn and cook for about 3 minutes, stirring often, until the base thickens. Stir in sugar, turmeric and cornmeal. Add milk and cook until corn is soft, about 3 minutes.
3. Transfer to a large bowl and allow to cool to room temperature. Add parsley, egg and flour and stir until just combined.
4. Heat about 1 1⁄2 - 2 tablespoons vegetable oil in large skillet on medium heat. Drop ¼ cup of batter onto skillet (or more if you want bigger cakes). Flatten slightly with spatula and cook until browned, about 4 minutes per side.
5. Repeat with remaining batter, keeping cooked cakes warm in oven until served. Serve with yogurt or hot sauce, depending on your taste.
