  Re: (...)
I have a big buffet menu planned around the Corn Tamale cakes in the August 2006 issue. Of course, now I can't find that issue. Could one of you helpful souls please post a copy for me? Thanks.

You'll find it as soon as I post this, you know!!!

Tamale Corn Cakes
(Cuisine at home, August 2006, Issue 58, p. 43)
Makes 10-12 cakes

Whisk into 3 Cups Simmering Water; Stir in:
1/2 cup yellow cornmeal
1/3 cup masa harina
3 cups fresh corn kernels, pulsed in a food processor
1 cup Parmesan, grated
1/2 t. cayenne
Salt to taste

Dip and Coat Cakes in; Fry in:
2 eggs, lightly beaten with eggs 1 T. milk
1/2 cup all—purpose flour
1/2 cup vegetable oil


Lightly coat a 9 x 13" baking dish with nonstick spray.

Whisk cornmeal gradually into simmering water, then whisk in the masa harina. Stir in the corn and cook until mixture is thick and smooth, about 5 minutes. Off heat, add Parmesan, cayenne, and salt. Spread mixture into prepared dish and chill for 1 hour. When firm, cut into cakes. Preheat oven to 200 F.

Dip cakes into the egg mixture, then dust with flour. Fry in oil in a saute pan over medium-high heat, browning both sides. Transfer cakes to a paper towel-lined plate or baking sheet; keep warm in the oven. Serve warm cakes with toppings on the side.

Tips from magazine -

• Slowly whisk the cornmeal, followed by the masa harina, into the hot water to prevent clumping. Cook till thick.
• Transfer the corn cake mixture to a 9X13” pan, smooth out the top, and chill till firm, at least 1 hours.
• Cut out cakes from the chilled corn mixture. You can use a biscuit cutter for rounds, or cut into squares or triangles.
• For an evenly browned, crispy crust, lightly coat the cakes, first in egg, then dredge in flour, shaking off any excess.
• Fry cakes on both sides in oil (ad more s needed). They may stick at first but will release once well-browned.

THANK YOU!!!!

You are right, I will find this soon, I am sure. Though I have already cleaned the house, moved the sofa and the TV (places that collect junk), and both my husband and I have sorted through all of the Cuisines on the shelf as well as all the other cooking magazines. So I really tried before I came here! But you are right, it will turn up in my son's room or some other weird place!

In the meantime, thanks again for the help -- now I can get on with the detailed shopping list and plan for Saturday.
