I looked and looked for corn recipes in preparation for this week's BSI. I looked in bookmarks, on websites, in e-mails, and through my magazines and cookbooks.
I found two that I liked, one on a website and one in a cookbook, so I combined them to make this savory side dish.
Ingredients:
3/4 cup cornmeal
1/2 cup flour
1 tsp baking powder
1/2 tsp salt
1/2 tsp cinnamon
1 mushed up banana
1/2 cup frozen corn
1 egg
2 Tbsp milk
oil for frying
Directions:
Put frozen corn in a dry high-sided skillet and saute over medium high heat until the corn starts to get a hint of brown color. Mix all ingredients (except oil for frying) in a medium mixing bowl. Add corn after it begins to brown.
This made 10 fritters and they are so yummy! They're kind of a cross between hush puppies, corn bread, and maybe banana bread? The cinnamon and bananas add a really great dimension your taste buds just aren't expecting. There were a couple bites that had a chunk of warmed banana and they were just great, as were the bites with the slightly browned corn kernels.
