Expert Tips

Sprinkle chopped fresh cilantro on top of each stack.

Yellow cornmeal will give these corn cakes a buttery golden color, but white cornmeal can also be used.

Quick, easy, and cheap! My husband was thrown off a little by the texture (they look like pancakes, but don't taste like pancakes?) but they were great with sour cream on top. May also want to add some chili powder or chipotle for extra kick. We will probably make again sometime.
