The corn fries to a crunchy shell, with a soft interior.
1 cup corn meal
¼ cup flour
1 Tbsp honey or sugar
1 ½ tsp baking powder
¼ tsp salt
¼ tsp pepper
¾ cups water or vegetable stock
¼ cup chopped fresh chives
½ cup mixed vegetables (e.g. corn, beans, minced peppers)
Canola oil for frying
Stir together the corn meal, flour, sugar/honey, baking powder, salt, and pepper. Slowly stir in the water and honey if using. It should be a thick, but smooth, batter. Stir in the chives and vegetables.
Heat about 1/2” of oil in a skillet over high heat, then turn the heat to medium when it gets hot. Drop large spoonfuls of batter into the oil and press them down into patties. Cook on each side until golden brown. Place them on a cooking rack on top of a baking sheet to drain oil before serving. Eat plain as a snack, or add toppings.

Combine flour and salt in a bowl. Cut in butter until mixture is like coarse crumbs. Beat in milk and egg whites. Drop dough in spoonfuls into the stew. Cook, uncovered, for 10 minutes. Cover and cook for 10 more minutes until dumplings are done.

Preheat oven to 350° F.
Have corn on the cob that is still inside the husk. Put it in the oven, straight on the oven rack, and cook for 30 minutes.
It comes out very sweet, tender and flavorful, a different taste than when the corn is boiled. Leaving the husk on while it's roasting traps in the moisture.
