Corn Butter Bites
Golden, buttery corn bites that are crisp on the outside and tender on the inside, brushed with melted butter for a glossy, irresistible finish. Perfect as a snack, appetizer, or comforting side dish.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup sweet corn kernels, fresh or canned and drained
- 1 cup all purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1 tablespoon granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 cup milk
- 1 large egg
- 4 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted for brushing
- 1 tablespoon chopped fresh parsley, optional
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 375 degrees Fahrenheit or heat a nonstick skillet over medium heat.
- In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, sugar, and salt.
- In a separate bowl, mix the milk, egg, and 4 tablespoons melted butter until smooth.
- Pour the wet mixture into the dry ingredients and stir gently until just combined. Fold in the corn kernels and parsley.
- Lightly grease a skillet or mini muffin pan with butter.
- Spoon small portions of batter into the skillet or muffin cavities, filling each about three quarters full.
- Cook in a skillet for 3 to 4 minutes per side until golden brown, or bake for 12 to 15 minutes until lightly golden and set.
- Brush immediately with the remaining 2 tablespoons melted butter while still warm.
- Let cool slightly, then serve warm and enjoy.
Notes
- Do not overmix the batter to keep the bites light and tender.
- Rotate the pan halfway through baking for even color.
- Reheat leftovers in a 300 degree Fahrenheit oven for 5 to 7 minutes.
