Title: Corn Cakes
Categories : Breads, Ceideburg 2
Serving size: 1 servings 2 cn Whole kernel sweet corn, -minced 1 bn Scallions, sliced in thin -rings 1 Egg 1/2 ts Saffron threads 1 tb Hot water 1 ts Sugar 1/3 c All purpose flour (35g) Salt and pepper 1/4 c Safflower oil (60ml) These are called corn patties in Vietnam and are not flavored with saffron. I always liked this recipe and since the Pennsylvania Dutch are famous for putting saffron in their corn chowders, I thought, why not? Steep threads in hot water for 20 minutes. Combine all ingredients and form hamburger-sized flat patties. Coat heavy skillet with oil and when hot, but not smoky, begin frying patties. Brown on both sides and serve immediately.
