It has been fantastic to be part of this event hosted by my friend Heather a.k.a. girlichef. I must tell you that my entire family has enjoyed the event and The New Southwest by Meagan Miccozi a lot. It has been an entirely new culinary experience for this German girl :)
The event kicked-off with Mushroom + Leek Migas, for bloggers choice last week I made Chicken Tinga Potpie, and today it is a dairy free version of the Savory Corn Cakes on page 139. This truly is amazing cookbook, it is actually the first time that I have found Ron read through a cookbook plus The New Southwest exposes us to so many new flavors. In addition, if you are like us and need to avoid dairy many of the recipes are easily adaptable and still delicious just like the Savory Corn Cakes
Savory Corn Cakes pages 139, The New Southwest by Meagan Miccozi
- 1 C all purpose flour
- 1 tsp baking powder
- 1 tsp salt
- 3/4 C whole milk {plain Almond Milk or your favorite plain non-dairy beverage}
- 1/2 C sour cream {my preferred brand is Tofutti vegan sour cream}
- 1 large egg
- 2-1/2 C canned or cooked fresh whole corn kernels
- 1 C diced green onions
- Vegetable Oil for frying
Yield: 12 to 14 corn cakes
Whisk the flour, baking powder, and salt together in a large bowl.
In a separate bowl, whisk milk, sour cream, and egg together. Whisk the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients, mixing just until you have a smooth, uniform batter. Fold in the corn and green onions.
Heat 1 tablespoon oil in a heavy bottomed skillet over medium heat (assuming you will be frying these corn cakes in batches, I recommend adding approximately 1 tablespoon of oil to your pan before cooking each batch). Using 1/4- cup measure, portion out 3 or 4 corn cakes into the skillet. Fry corn cakes for approximately 3 minutes on the first side, until air holes appear across the top of each corn cake, and their shapes are set and matte colored. Flip and cook 3 to 4 more minutes, until corn cakes are cooked through. Serve immediately. Continue cooking batches of corn cakes until the batter is used.
They were so delicious for our breakfast, and afternoon snack. I know that you just want to have your own copy of The New Southwest . Here is your chance to win your own copy...
