Sweet Corn Tomalito

This tastes sweeter than cornbread and is so yummy!! It makes a great side dish for fajitas or any other kind of Mexican dish.. It is very similar to Chevy's Tomalito. I found the recipe on: allrecipes.com
My photography skills aren't the best...I think I need to take a class or something.

Sweet Corn Tomalito

5 tablespoons margarine, softened
1/4 cup masa harina (or 1/8 c. cornmeal, 1/8 c. flour)
1/3 cup sugar
1/2 cup water
2 cups frozen whole-kernel corn, thawed
1/2 cup cornmeal
1 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
4 teaspoons milk

In a meduim bowl, mix together the margarine, masa harina, and sugar until light and fluffy.

In a blender, blend one cup of the corn kernels with the water and cornmeal just until smooth. Stir into the masa mixture.

Mix in the remaining corn, baking soda, salt and milk until the batter is smooth.

Pour into a microwavable-safe, says 8x8 glass baking dish that has a lid....but I used this white serving dish with a lid and it worked just fine.

Cover, and cook in microwave for 7 minutes at 30% power, mix, then cook an additional 4 minutes at fill power. Stir and serve!!

* For the masa harina, I just did the 1/8 c. cornmeal and the 1/8 c. flour instead of buying a 5 pound bag of masa harina. I believe it was like 4 teaspoons of each to make 1/8th....but I moved when I learned fractions so don't mark my word...measure for yourself. :)

Besides it took forever....1 teaspoon of cornmeal, 1 teaspoon of flour, 1 teaspoon of cornmeal....1 teaspoon of flour, 1 teaspoon of cornmeal...still not to the 1/4 c. line....you get the picture.
