I'm a new cook, and these corn cakes were one of the first recipes I ever tried. They were so easy to make, and they turned out perfectly. My friends and family loved them, and I've been making them ever since.

These corn cakes are the perfect bachelor meal. They're quick and easy to make, and they're delicious. I usually just eat them plain, but sometimes I'll add a dollop of sour cream or salsa.

I'm always looking for new and exciting recipes, and these corn cakes definitely fit the bill. I loved the combination of sweet corn and savory spices. I also liked that they were cooked in a skillet rather than deep-fried, which made them a bit heal

These corn cakes are a great way to get your daily dose of vegetables. I used whole wheat flour and added some chopped spinach and zucchini. They were still delicious, and I felt good about serving them to my family.

Easy to make and delicious! I had some leftover corn on the cob, so I used that instead of canned corn. I also added a bit of chopped bacon, which gave them a nice smoky flavor. My kids loved them!

I've made corn cakes before, but these were by far the best. The addition of sour cream and cornmeal gave them a wonderful texture and flavor. I also liked that they were cooked in a skillet rather than deep-fried, which made them a bit healthier.

These skillet corn cakes were a hit with my family! They were crispy on the outside and fluffy on the inside, with a wonderful sweet corn flavor. I added a bit of chopped jalapeno to give them a little kick, and they were perfect. Will definitely be
