The first time I had this corn cake was at a Chi-Chi's restaurant in Erie, Pennsylvania, one bite and I was hooked. The cornmeal, corn nibblets and sugar all come together to form a combination of a mildly sweet, soft cake perfumed with the scent of corn. I have had this in every Mexican restaurant ever since.
So when my sis-in-law sent me this book for my birthday and it had this recipe, I knew I had to try it. The results was one of the most delicious corn cake ever, just like they serve in the restaurants. Try this recipe and I assure you that you will not be disappointed. This would be a wonderful addition to our Thanksgiving table. Some have even reduced the butter required in the recipe by half. I did not do that, but will definitely try that next time in efforts to make this dish a little bit healthier.
This book has a lot of good recipes and soon I will be trying the Blooming Onion recipe from Outback Steakhouse. There is also the Avocado Eggrolls from Cheesecake Factory, the Pizza Sticks and Quesadillas from Applebee's, Japanese Fried Rice from Benihana, Grilled Vegetable Sandwich from Hard Rock Cafe, Potato Cheese Soup and Strawberry Tallcake For Two from Ruby Tuesday
