Recipe Tips

Make Ahead
These crisp corn cakes can be cooked ahead of time. Cool, then refrigerate up to 24 hours. Remove from refrigerator and let stand at room temperature 30 min. before placing in single layer on parchment-covered baking sheet and baking in 350°F oven 10 min. or until heated through.
