Sweet Corn Tamale Cakes

Langkah-langkah

1. Thaw and drain the frozen corn. Pulse 1 cup of corn in a food processor until smooth. Add the pulsed corn to a large bowl, along with the remaining 1/2 cup whole corn kernels.
2. Add the all-purpose flour, masa flour, salt, butter, and sugar. Use a pastry cutter or two forks to mix the butter into the rest of the ingredients until the batter forms. Add 1 teaspoon of additional masa flour at a time if the batter is too sticky.
3. Shape 1/2 cup of the batter into a small patty measuring about 3 inches in diameter.
4. Heat a large skillet with olive oil over medium-high heat. Add the corn cakes and cook for 5 minutes until golden brown. Carefully flip each cake and cook for 5 minutes on the other side. Alternatively, you can bake the corn cakes in the oven for 20-25 minutes, flipping halfway through the baking time.
5. Mix the mayonnaise and Southwest seasoning in a small bowl.
6. Spoon the mixture into a small Ziplock bag. Snip a small corner of the bag using scissors to drizzle on top of the corn cakes.
7. Pour the salsa verde on the bottom of a large plate then place the corn cakes on top of the salsa verde. Garnish the top of each cake with sour cream, avocado, pico de Gallo, a drizzle of the seasoned mayonnaise mixture, and chopped cilantro. Enjoy!
