FRESH CORN CAKES

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.

Tips:

  • Choose the right cornmeal. Stone-ground cornmeal will give your ham cakes a more rustic, flavorful texture, while finely ground cornmeal will produce a smoother, more delicate texture.
  • Don't overmix the batter. Overmixing will make the ham cakes tough. Mix just until the ingredients are combined.
  • Cook the ham cakes over medium heat. This will help them cook evenly without burning.
  • Serve the ham cakes with your favorite sides. Some popular options include fried eggs, grits, and hash browns.
  • Make ahead. Cornmeal ham cakes can be made ahead of time and reheated in the oven or microwave.
