Ingredients

Tomatillo Guacamole

Mango Salsa

Directions

  1. Add 2 cups of the corn to a food processor and puree. Combine the pureed corn with the softened butter, sugar, and salt. Mix well.
  2. Stir in the masa harina, and flour, and mix until blended. Fold in the remaining corn kernels.
  3. In a large cast iron skillet, heat 1 tablespoon butter over medium-high heat. Drop 1/2 cup portions of the batter into the hot skillet forming patties.
