Help Build a Recipe w/ Corn

Harpa — Mon, 03 May 2021 12:37:24 GMT

I have fresh corn I need to use up.

I have this new silicone tray w/ miniature cups that I need to use for an upcoming event (& other bite-size recipe).

So, I would like to practice run with the new baking tray & also use up the corn.

Corn - shaved off fresh kernals

Flour - how much?

Milk?

Egg?

Salt & pepper

Anything else?

(If this turns out, I'll change from the mac & cheese to the bite-size corn cakes that I'll need mid month.)

I make a bean salad - black beans, kidney beans, green beans, wax beans and I add corn. I make a sweetish dressing with oil, vinegar, sugar and salt and pepper- so good!

@FastDogWalker2 Thank you! That salad sounds like something I would like! Do you cook the fresh corn first?

I am thinking more in terms of a bite-size cake or biscuit to use in that new pan.

I am making egg muffin cups this week for the grandkids...It's easy and I think adding corn would be a great idea. I sauté some red pepper, onions and spinach in oil until fairly soft. A little salt and pepper.. In a separate bowl I whisk 4 whole eggs and 4 eggs whites. I add the cooked veggies to the egg mixture with a little shredded cheese.

Pour into the silicone muffin tins that I spray with Baker's Joy spray with flour.... and bake at 350 for 15 to 20 minutes.
I think adding the corn would be a nice extra veggie in the mix. They are light and moist without the flour and milk. I actually double this recipe because they go fast. Plus you can freeze them for later.

Instead of jalapenos we use those small cans of Hatch mild chopped green peppers.

This is an old old recipe of ours--but good! I'd just put in half cream corn and half corn kernals.

List of Ingredients

2 1/4 cups yellow cornbread mix
3 tablespoons sugar
1/2 cup vegetable oil
3 eggs, beaten
1 (8 1/2-ounce) can cream style corn
1 1/2 cups (6 ounces) shredded Longhorn cheese
1 large onion, grated
2 large canned jalapeno pepper, seeded and chopped

Recipe

Combine all ingredients, mixing well. Heat a well-greased 13- x 9- x 2-inch baking pan in 400 degree oven for 3 minutes or until very hot.

Pour batter into hot pan, and bake at 450 degrees for 20 minutes or until cornbread is golden brown. Cut bread into 2-inch squares to serve. Yield: about 2 dozen

I've had this, usually at summer barbecues. It's really delicious!

@Sooner You're a gem!!

@Harpa Ha! A diamond in the rough! We love this cornbread and it's hard to mess up cornbread unless the mix is too wet or dry. So feel free to crumble in bacon or whatever--pimentos for color etc.!

Have fun with your bites! I will bet they are a hit!

I've made this recipe (below) many times and wlll keep doing so. To me, the Jiffy corn muffin mix is sweet enough without adding sugar, although some versions of this recipe call for sugar.

You can use fresh instead of canned whole corn kernels, but keep in the creamed corn.

I don't add the cheese or Ritz crackers, although I've seen many versions that call for it. To me it requires only a handful of simple ingredients, and to me it tastes like dessert. Nobody doesn't like it!!

CORN CASSEROLE

1 (15 1/4 oz.) whole kernel corn, drained

1 (14 3/4 oz.) can cream-style corn

1 (8 oz.) box Jiffy corn muffin mix

2 eggs, beaten

1 cup sour cream

1/2 cup (1 stick) butter, melted

1 to 1-1/2 cups shredded Cheddar--I don't add this

1 cup crushed Ritz crackers--I don't add this

Preheat oven to 350 degrees

In large bowl, beat or whisk eggs, add melted butter, sour cream, muffin mix and two cans of corn. Stir all.

Pour into greased 2.5-qt. casserole dish.

Bake for 45 minutes or until golden brown. Remove from oven and top with optional Cheddar and crushed Ritz crackers. Return to oven for 5 to 10 minutes, or until cheese is melted.

I make corn fritters on a fairly regular basis. I typically fry them but you could try making them in the silicone mold and baking them.

I use 1 cup self-rising flour.

2 cups cooked corn

1/2 cup milk

2 eggs

1/2 teaspoon salt.

Pepper to taste. (I tend to use a lot.)

Just combine it all and then cook it. I typically either pan fry in shallow oil (if my self-rising flour is a bit dead) or deep fry (if the self-rising flour is especially active. The pan-frying gives you a flatter fritter while the deep frying gives you a rounder, ball-type fritter. Both are very good. (When pan-fried some people call them corn oysters as they tend to come out more oyster shaped.) Right now I'm still using up some dead-ish White Lily flour, so I go more pan-frying than deep-frying.

Here's a photo of some of the corn fritters/oysters made last Thursday. These were the shallow pan-fried/oyster type. They're very good.

How about corn bread corn kernel muffins? Buy the Jiffy Corn Bread mix and add how many kernels you want to a muffin tin cup.
