Preparation

  1. Step 1

    Preheat the oven to 400 degrees. In a skillet over medium-high heat, heat the oil. Add the ham, corn and garlic and stir until hot, about 1 minute. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Remove from the heat and cool.

  2. Step 2

    Sift the cornmeal, flour, sugar, baking powder and 1/2teaspoon salt into a large bowl. Stir in the milk, eggs and butter until a smooth batter is formed. Stir in the ham mixture. Spoon half of the batter into each of the 12 scalloped cups of a greased madeleine pan and smooth the tops. Place in the oven and bake until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean, about 15 minutes. Invert onto a cooling rack. Sprinkle lightly with salt and chili powder. Repeat with the remaining batter. Serve warm. (Reheat the madeleines briefly in a 350-degree oven if necessary.)
