Ok I don't know what happened but I was so looking forward to these. I did this recipe twice and still it didn't work.
It says to add the corn meal slowly and then the masa, then add the fresh corn (3 cups). The instructions also say cook till smooth and thick. (sorry don't have the recipe here in front of me). Well for starters it gets real thick the minute you put the corn meal in. But I kept stirring. You add the corn (pulsed in a food processor) to the mixture and now it will never be 'smooth'. It also doesn't say how much the fresh corn should be pulsed, so I just broke up the kernels a bit. I cooked it the 5 minutes it said that the smooth consistency should take. Added the cheese and put it all into the pan and then into the fridge for 2 hours. It was still liquid after 2 hours.
So then I moved on and made something else for dinner and thought, Ok I'll just leave it in overnight and do it tomorrow. Well the next morning still liquid.
So thinking I screwed something up I started over, figuring it's now 9am I have plenty of time to get this thing firmed up for dinner. I repeat everything and still it's liquid after hours in the fridge.
Has anyone else tried this recipe? I'm honestly thinking they left out an ingredient to bind it all together.
