Corn recipes

I simply love corn..Here are some recipes:

Boiled Corn


Fill your pot with water.

Add 1/4 cup to 1/2 cup of sugar.

Drop in your corn.

Bring everything to a boil, making sure the sugar is dissolved in the water.

Boil for no longer than 8 minutes.

Remove from the water and let it cool enough for handling and eating.

Handle it and eat it.



Cheesy Corn

Ingredients
  • 6 fresh sweet corn in the husk
  • 1/2 cup of butter, softened
  • 1/2 packet of creamy cheese sauce OR
  • 1/2 packet of cheddar cheese powder
  • 3 garlic cloves, chopped
  • 2 tablespoons of fresh parsley, chopped
  • 1 teaspoon of chili powder
  • salt and pepper to taste

Cooking Instructions

Peel back the corn husks, leaving them intact.

Pull off the white silks and discard.

Wash the corn and pat dry with paper towels.
Combine the butter, garlic, chili powder, parsley, creamy cheese sauce or cheddar cheese powder and some salt and freshly ground black pepper and brush each cob.

Pull up the husks and tie together at the top with some string.

Steam over boiling water for about 20 minutes, then pat dry.
Preheat a lightly oiled BB plate or grill and cook the corn over a medium heat for 20 minutes, turning every 5 minutes until the corn is tender and cheesy.

Spray over some water during the cooking to ensure that you keep the corn moist. Remove the husks and serve.



Corn Fritters

This sweetcorn fritters recipe is quick and simple. Best of all, it’s a really versatile recipe which can be easily changed to suit your liking. Add extra pepper if you would like the extra quick to compensate for the creamy corn flavor. The sweetcorn fritters should turn out light and fluffy.


Ingredients

  • 3/4 cup of plain all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon of baking powder
  • salt and freshly ground black pepper
  • 1 egg
  • 2 large sweet corn
  • 2 tablespoons of olive oil

Cooking Instructions

Rinse the sweet corn.

Use a sharp knife to remove the corn kernels off the cob and transfer to a bowl.

Add the eggs and milk with the corn and combine the ingredients thoroughly.

Use a different mixing bowl to combine the flour, salt, pepper and baking powder.

Pour these ingredients into the same bowl as the corn mixture, and stir with a wooden spoon to form a thick batter consistency.

Heat a little oil in a frying pan and drop large spoonfuls of corn mixture into the pan when it is hot enough.

Cook the corn fritters until golden brown on one side, then turn and repeat on the other side.

Drain the fritters with paper towels to remove excess oil and serve immediately.
