Plain Corn Recipes

Steps:

• Heat oil with 3 popcorn kernels in a 3-quart heavy saucepan over moderate heat, covered, until 1 or 2 kernels pop. Quickly add remaining popcorn, then cook, covered, shaking pan frequently, until kernels stop popping, about 3 minutes.

Steps:

• Beat eggs, milk and oil together.
• Add all dry ingredients to wet and mix well.
• Pour mixture into greased 8"x8" cake pan.
• Bake 400F for 25-30 minutes or until toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.

Steps:

• Into a large bowl, crack the eggs. Pour in the milk and the oil or margarine. Mix this up until it is emulsified nicely. Dump in the cornmeal, flour, baking powder, salt and sugar. Use a whisk or a spoon and a strong arm to mix this all up until it is quite smooth. Turn the batter into a round, oiled 9-inch pan, or an oiled 8-inch square pan. You culd also use a large iron skillet if you like. Bake the cornbread at 400F for about 30 minutes, maybe a smidgen more. Remove it from the oven and allow it to cool for a few minutes before cutting it into wedges.

Steps:

• Place corn in a pot with enough water to come up about one half way of corn. Add the rest of the ingredients and bring to a boil. Reduce heat, cover and cook for about 10 to 12 minutes. Can keep in pot on warm until time to serve.

Steps:

• Place cooked potatoes, corn, green onion, red peppers, chicken broth, 2.5 cups of the milk and butter in a pot. Simmer on low for 30 minutes, stirring occasionally.
• Place the remaining milk, egg and flour in a small container and shake well.
• Slowly add to the pot, stirring until thickened.
• Salt and pepper to taste.
• Simmer on low for another 15 minutes.
• Serve in small bowls -- if you want to be fancy, preheat the bowls in boiling water before filling them with hot soup.
• Garnish.
