Sweet Corn Tomalito

You know that awesome, moist corn cake they give you at El Torito? This is it! I got this from "the wimpy vegetarian" blog.

1/2 batch recipe

3 tbsp unsalted butter
1/4 cup sugar
1/4 cup + 2 tbsp milk (whole)

1/4 cup masa harina
1/4 cup cornmeal
1/4 tsp baking powder
1/4 salt

2 cups fresh corn (or frozen)

standard batch recipe

6 tbsp unsalted butter
1/2 cup sugar
3/4 cup milk (whole)

1/2 cup masa harina
1/2 cup cornmeal
1/2 tsp baking powder
1/2 salt

4 cups fresh corn (or frozen)

Mix butter and sugar in food processor until creamy. Add milk. Mix masa harina, cornmeal, baking powder and salt in a bowl. Add to food processor. Pulse. Add half of the corn. Pulse. Then add the second half of the corn and but don't pulse, you want whole pieces of corn.

Cover with foil and bake in the oven at 350 F with boiling water surrounding a dish. Bake 30 minutes then take off foil and bake another 20-30 minutes.
