APPETIZER SPECIAL

1

Prepare the Batter

In a large mixing bowl, combine the cornmeal, baking powder, and salt. Mix well.

2

Add Wet Ingredients

In a separate bowl, whisk together the milk, melted butter, and eggs. Gradually add the wet mixture to the dry ingredients, stirring until just combined. Fold in the sweet corn kernels.

3

Cook the Tamale Cakes

Preheat a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat. Pour about 1/4 cup of the batter onto the skillet for each tamale cake. Cook for 3-4 minutes on each side or until golden brown and cooked through. Repeat with the remaining batter.

4

Prepare the Toppings

While the tamale cakes are cooking, prepare your toppings: chop fresh pico de gallo, mash avocados for guacamole, and crumble queso fresco.

5

Serve

Serve the tamale cakes warm with dollops of chipotle mayo, salsa verde, pico de gallo, guacamole, and sour cream. Sprinkle with crumbled queso fresco for added flavor.
