evenly on the bread cubes and let sit

SOUTHWEST CORN CAICES
Everyone's favorite.
1/2 cup or more flour
1 cup cornmeal
1 t. kosher salt
1/2 t. ground black pepper
2 large eggs, beaten lightly
2 cups fresh or frozen corn kernels,
drained
1 cup chopped red pepper
1/2 cup chopped onions
1/2 cup or more water
1/4 cup vegetable oil
2 T. hot red-pepper sauce (such as
Tabasco) or to taste
Vegetable oil for frying
Combine all the ingredients (except
the oil for frying) in a large bowl and
stir well to combine. Let stand for 10
minutes before cooking.
Heat the oil in a large skillet over
medium-high heat until very hot. Test
fry a corn cake by pouring 1 heaping
tablespoon of the batter from the tip of
a spoon (not from the sides, or the pan-
cake may not be round). Fry the corn
cake until it is golden on each side. If
the batter is too thin and "spreads," add
more flour to the batter. If the batter is
too thick (doesn't spread slightly), add
more water. Taste your "test" corn cake
for seasoning and adjust salt, pepper
and pepper sauce to taste.
When you're satisfied with the first
corn cake, make the rest of them,
adding -more oil to the skillet as needed.
Transfer the finished corn cakes to a
dish or pan topped with several layers of
paper toweling.
Eat the corn cakes warm or at room
temperature, plain or with salsa or sour
cream. These may be made up to a day
in advance and reheated in the oven, set
at 300F., for 15 to 30 minutes.
Makes about 3-4 dozen corn cakes.
