Wow, Marra, are these ever good. I'm eating them as I type this. So much flavor, soft, tender, crisp, spicy, sweet and delicious. They have incredible flavor and texture from the sweet onion, corn, hot pepper and cheese. Be patient and gentle when turning these beautiful corn cakes, they are worth the wait and they will firm up. Thank you so much for sharing this lovely recipe. I served dh's with recipe #404355 he raved about them so much that I added the butter to mine as well. Yes, I enjoyed a slice of onion with this.... I separated the onion slice into rings and added to the top of my pancake drizzling maple syrup over everything. So good. Made for Culinary Quest Southern - Tribute to the Onion. I can't wait to make these again. Highly recommend them..

I am a middle aged foodie who has had the luxury of living all over the world except asia. Lived in or grew up in Nigeria, Kenya, Chicago, Russia,and haiti. born in New Zealand, brother born in Austria and many more.
I have chronic medication resistant depression after 10 years on anti depressants that worked well but would stop working after a year or two, so now do my best at home living on disabilty. Not a bad thing, many have far worse health issues but i have been able to concentrate on food/cooking.
My main passions are my cats. I live in the woods and somehow many starving strays or "dumps" have found the message babies who passed on left in the woods saying "suck lives at xxxx road. Most arrive sick and/or starving. Right now i have 2 that arrived with feline herpes and their attendant 2ndry bacterial infections but are doing beautifully. One old man who was going to be euthanized bc a lady who found him as a stray was moving and didnt want him...well he was a biter and rather grumpy who was in ICU for 3 days with a deadly gut infection which was fixed but he left with a diagnosis of diabetes. 3 months on insulin and finally diet controlled and he caught the herpes virus, respiratory symptom version and turned into a cuddler. Butterscotch must think "why didnt i figure out this cuddle stuff was great before i got sick!" Doing wonderfully even though he has bouts. he and the other kids are my babies. Sadly Butterscotch died of Lymphatic cancer in winter of 2008. A year before Big Boy arrived in my life, starving and weak. Full of affection he jumped into my arms and stayed, turns out he has FIV (cat hiv) so he needs to be watched closely. I love him dearly
