"These yummy little corn cakes are a great side dish for chicken or fish, and they also make a good appetizer. You can prepare the batter a few hours ahead and refrigerate, then saute just before serving."

I thought these were very good. Nice change of pace. Great flavor. Kid friendly. Will make again.

These are absolutely the most delicious corn cakes I have ever had. A little more work than usual, and since fresh corn right now is $1 an ear, I opted to use frozen...not unfavorable at all. They smelled wonderful cooking up, and everyone raved when served. I did add Kate Geraghy's recipe#160710 Coating Cheese Sauce to put over the cakes... good with our without.
