Description

These corn cakes don't come in one unique flavor. They have can have many variations. Substituting the grated cheese with grated coconut will produce a different flavor altogether; adding some canned corn to the dough will produce some flavor more similar to the Argentinian addictive choclos.

Ingredients

1	Cup	cornmeal (yelow cornmeal)
1	Tablespoon	butter (melted)
1	Tablespoon	flour (all purpose type)
3	Cup	sugar
1	Tablespoon	baking soda
4	Tablespoon	cheese (grated)
4	Cup	milk (low fat)
4		eggs (small)

Instructions

Preheat the oven to 350F. Grease a 9 x 1 3-inch baking pan by rubbing butter or spraying with cooking vegetable oil spray.
In a large bowl, whisk the melted butter, sugar, and eggs together. Add the milk, and mix until well combined. Mix the cornmeal, flour, baking soda, and grated cheese together in a separate bowl.
Slowly add the dry ingredients to the milk mixture. Stir with a wooden spoon just until all of the dry particles are moistened.
Pour the batter into the baking pan and place it on the middle rack. Bake for about 30 to 35 minutes or until the top turns golden brown.
Remove the pan from the oven. Allow to cool for at least 15 minutes before cutting into squares.

Notes

Place the butter in a small microwave-safe bowl and cover it. Heat on high power for about 20 seconds until melted.
