2 cups water
3 tablespoons white sugar, or more to taste
1 tablespoon butter
1 teaspoon salt
1 ½ cups cornmeal, or as needed
3 cups vegetable oil for frying
vegetable oil
½ cup mayonnaise, or to taste
¼ cup ketchup
1 pinch garlic salt, or to taste

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)



Bisquick Toaster Corn Cakes (Or Corn Sticks) image

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



Corn Sticks image

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.

  • Pour the batter into hot muffin cups or corn stick molds to create a crispy exterior.
  • Bake the corn sticks until golden brown and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
  • Serve the corn sticks hot with butter, honey, or your favorite dipping sauce.
