BUTTERMILK CHEDDAR CORN CAKES



Buttermilk Cheddar Corn Cakes image

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.
  • Place the skillet over medium heat and add enough butter to coat the bottom. Ladle about 1/2 cup batter into the pan, spreading gently to form a thick circle. 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.

CHEVY'S SWEET CORN TAMALITOS



Chevy's Sweet Corn Tamalitos image

I started seeing this delightful little scoop of heaven on the edge of my plate at a few of the Mexican restaurants around town, so I decided make it at home. This recipe is actually the recipe they use at Chevy's, which I found published in the local paper.

Provided by Miss Erin C.

Categories     Corn

Time 1h10m

Yield 6-8 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 10

5 tablespoons margarine, softened
1/4 cup masa harina flour
1/3 cup sugar
2 cups corn kernels (fresh or frozen, thawed)
1/2 cup cornmeal
1/2 cup water
1 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
2 tablespoons milk
1 teaspoon milk

Steps:

  • In a small bowl, mix the margarine, masa and sugar with mixer until light and fluffy, about 1 minute.
  • Blend 1/2 the corn kernels with the water in a blender until smooth.
  • Combine with margarine mixture, stirring well.
  • Add the remaining corn, cornmeal, baking powder, salt and milk.
  • Bring a medium saucepan of water to a boil.
  • Pour the mixture into an 8-inch baking dish.
  • Tightly cover with plastic wrap and set atop the saucepan of boiling water.
  • Keep pan tightly wrapped and steam for 50 minutes to 1 hour.
  • Check water level often, until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
  • I have also made this in the oven, setting the pan in a water bath.
  • I do not know the temp I had the oven on, or how long I kept it inches If anyone tries it, please add that info.

Tips:

  • Use fresh corn: Fresh corn will give your cake the best flavor and texture.
  • Drain the corn well: Before adding the corn to the batter, be sure to drain it well to remove any excess moisture.
  • Don't overmix the batter: Overmixing the batter will make the cake tough. Mix just until the ingredients are combined.
  • Bake the cake in a preheated oven: This will help the cake rise evenly.
  • Let the cake cool completely before frosting: This will help the frosting set properly.

Conclusion:

Chevy's corn cake is a moist, delicious, and easy-to-make side dish that is perfect for any occasion. With its sweet and savory flavor, this cake is sure to be a hit with everyone at your table. So next time you're looking for a side dish that will impress your guests, give Chevy's corn cake a try!
