Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups Frozen sweet corn
- 1 cup Cornmeal
- 0.25 cup All-purpose flour
- 0.33 cup Sugar
- 0.5 cup Butter
- 0.5 cup Milk
- 1 teaspoon Baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
Using a blender or food processor, blend 1 cup of the frozen sweet corn and the milk until smooth. Set aside.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the cornmeal, flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt. Whisk gently to ensure even distribution of the dry ingredients.
In a separate bowl, cream the butter until smooth and fluffy. Gradually mix in the blended corn-milk mixture to the creamed butter, stirring until well combined.
Add the dry ingredients into the wet mixture gradually, stirring until the batter is smooth. Finally, fold in the remaining 1 cup of whole frozen corn kernels.
Pour the mixture into an oven-safe baking dish or casserole dish.
Cover the dish tightly with aluminum foil to prevent it from drying out.
Bake in the preheated oven for 60 minutes, or until the tomalito is set and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
Remove from the oven and allow it to cool slightly before serving.
Serve warm as a side dish or enjoy it on its own as a comforting treat.
