Not without the the original article, which is interactive. This recipe is a variation on Corn Cakes. Put neutral oil in a skillet on medium heat. Combine 3/4 cup cornmeal, 1/2 cup flour and 2 teaspoons baking powder. Beat 1 egg with 3/4 cup milk; pour into dry ingredients along with 2 cups corn kernels. Add milk if needed. Drop spoonfuls into the oil; brown on both sides, 4 to 5 minutes total. Garnish: Parsley.
Does this make sense?
Easy and tasty as is. I also made some without the cheese/corn and served them for breakfast with maple syrup and bacon.
I’ve made these twice. Can’t recommend enough! Super easy and tasty.
A very simple and good recipe goes well with savory or sweet fix-ins. I added a little salt to the batter, as well.
I made this recipe last night. I mixed the milk and egg first and then added the cornmeal very slowly. I stirred constantly after adding each small portion of cornmeal in order to prevent lumps. After the milk-egg-cornmeal mixture was smooth, I added the cheese and corn. The corn cakes were a pleasant change from the commercial mix pancakes I usually make
