List of Ingredients
1 cup unbleached all-purpose flour
1 cup cornmeal
2 teaspoons baking powder
1 teaspoon salt
1 cup creamed corn* (8.25- and 8.5-ounce cans are perfect...or make your own following the directions below)
1 large egg
3/4 cup milk
2 tablespoons honey or sugar
2 tablespoons vegetable oil or unsalted butter, melted
Recipe
Preheat your oven to 425 degrees. Grease an 8 x 8 or 9 x 9-inch baking pan.
Sift the flour, cornmeal, baking powder, and salt into a large bowl. Stir the mixture briefly. Separately, whisk together the creamed corn, egg, milk, honey, and butter until the honey is dissolved.
Add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients and stir until everything is just combined. Pour the batter into the pan. Bake 20 to 26 minutes, until golden.
*Variation: Making your own fresh creamed corn:
You'll need three medium ears of corn, the fresher the better.
Husk, desilk, and wash the ears. Drop the ears into boiling water. Boil 3 minutes. Remove the ears and transfer them to a bowl or sink full of very cold water. Allow them to cool a few minutes, then sliced the kernels off the ears with a sharp knife. The corn will come off in "sheets". Now take the denuded ears of corn and scrape them with the back of your knife blade, squeezing any remaining pulp and liquid from the cob. The result will be a thick gruel with a milky liquid oozing about. Add this to the corn kernels and you've got fresh creamed corn. Collect 1 cup of it for the recipe, then proceed.
