My daughter really loved these store-bought corn cakes that were, admittedly delicious, but full of processed ingredients. I was determined to make them homemade with real corn and less sugar. The truth is that I had done this a long time ago when she didn’t understand the concept of tweaking a recipe and after one bite – she said no! I tried explaining that I could add a little more sugar, but she wasn’t having it!
She’s older now (kids really mature so much in a matter of months) and I think I need to try this again because they were a really good breakfast or warmed snack. It’s pretty basic, but oh so good!
