I have been on a cornmeal kick for the past few days, so we decided to try out this recipe. Mix ½ cup cornmeal with 1 ¼ cups buttermilk, then set aside. Separately, puree 2 cups corn kernels in a food processor, then add 2 eggs and 2 Tbsp butter (melted but not hot) and mix well. Add the… Continue reading Sweet corn flapjacks

Sweet oven-baked grits and millet with pecans, maple syrup, and honey
Recipe is here: http://mobile.nytimes.com/2014/03/13/health/sweet-oven-baked-grits-and-millet-with-pecans-and-maple-syrup.html?referrer (Mar. 2015) Note: The photo shows our modification: we swapped out medium-grain cornmeal for the grits and amaranth for the millet. We also garnished with walnuts instead of pecans. The result was less solid than the original recipe, but still delicious. (Nov. 2016)

Recipe is here: http://ansonmills.com/recipes/475 . We recommend reducing the amount of salt to just 1/8 tsp (the recipe calls for 1 tsp). We also fold the hot milk (we use 1 or 2%, not whole) into the pot, rather than serving it on the side. (Mar. 2015)
