Mexican Sweet Corn Cake

This is a tasty little side dish that is more like a corn pudding, but I have known others to fry the dough into a pancake. Masa Harina, one of the ingredients, means corn flour. It can be found at major grocery chains or you can find it at a store that specializes in Hispanic foods.

• 2 tablespoons shortening
• 1/2 cup masa harina

• 1/4 cup sugar
• 3 tablespoons whipping cream
• 1/4 teaspoon baking powder
• 1/4 teaspoon salt

1. Preheat oven to 350°F.
2.  Whip butter and shortening in a mixing bowl and beat until creamy.
3 . Add Masa harina slowly and mix thoroughly.
4. Add water until cookie dough consistency and mix.
5.  Blend in corn kernels.
6 . Mix cornmeal, sugar, whipping cream, baking powder, and salt separately in a large bowl.
7.  Add masa harina mixture and mix until blended.
8.  Grease an 8x10 square pan and pour mixture into pan.
9. Cover pan with foil and bake.
