  1. A friend and I are looking to find a recipe for the sweet
    corn cakes served as sides at Don Pablos.

    She says the recipe should have cream corn v. the non cream
    recipes I've located on google etc..

    So does any one by chance have a "clone recipe" for these?

    Are these based after some other Mexican, Tex-Mex or other
    latin, hispanic item that might be similar?

    Thanks in advance.

  3. Not having been to Don Pablos what do they look like? are
    they like a flat bread, corn fritter, or a muffin, or loaf?

    There are 4 "sweet corn cake" recipes at
    www.recipesource.com They all seem to be made with fresh or
    frozen corn along with cream. 20 "corn cake" recipes.

    but here is one made with cream corn

    A chain of restaurants. Their tortilla soup is pretty
    good, IMO.

    My question too, but... chain made corn cakes are like
    tartar sauce is in my city.

    Good cooks move around and every restaurant that makes their
    own tartar sauce has a killer recipe you can't differentiate
    from the place where you first tasted it.

    So, I'll submit an oldie:

    El Torito's Sweet Corn Cake 10 servings

    1/4 c Butter, unsalted 2 tb Shortening
    2/2 c Masa harina 3 tb Cold water 1 10 Ounce Pkg frozen
    corn Kernels 3 tb Cornmeal
    3/4 c Sugar 2 tb Whipping cream
    4/4 ts Baking powder
    5/4 ts Salt

    Whip butter and shortening in mixing bowl until fluffy and
    creamy. Add masa harina gradually and mix thoroughly. Add
    water gradually, mixing thoroughly.

    Blend corn kernels until coarsley chopped (does it sound
    like you're doing it in a food processor?).

    Stir into masa mixture.

    Mix cornmeal, sugar, whipping cream, baking powder and salt
    in large bowl. Add butter-masa mixture; mix until blended.

    Pour masa mixture into 8" greased baking pan. Cover with
    foil and bake at 350 degrees until corn cake is firm, 40 to
    50 minutes.

    Allow to stand at room temperature 15 minutes before cutting
    into squares. Or use ice cream scoop to serve or use a melon
    ball/ cookie ball scooper... becasue you don't want to serve
    gigantic proportions.

    !!!! <NOTE> !!! I have never made this recipe, but it has
    come up often enough to post in cases like this.

    I am afraid I can not say from personal experience as Don
    Pablos didn't have these on the menu last time I went.

    From the description given to me they are like a muffin or
    loaf and based on the consistency, moister than say corn
    bread/muffin, it was guessed that they had creamed corn v.
    whole kernel corn.

    That's pretty much what I found as well.

    Thanks I'll pass that along.

    They found a packet of "Chi Chi's Sweet Corn Cake" mix in
    the local grocery today, so they are going to try that and
    see what its like v. the Don Pablo item.

    I am still interested in "clone" or similar original recipes
    for the item too.

    Thanks.

    Yep. I should have figured that out. Seems obvious now.
