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
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
Step 2
Using a blender or food processor, blend 1 cup of the frozen sweet corn and the milk until smooth. Set aside.
Step 3
In a large mixing bowl, combine the cornmeal, flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt. Whisk gently to ensure even distribution of the dry ingredients.
Step 4
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.
Step 5
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.
Step 6
Pour the mixture into an oven-safe baking dish or casserole dish.
Step 7
Cover the dish tightly with aluminum foil to prevent it from drying out.
Step 8
Bake in the preheated oven for 60 minutes, or until the tomalito is set and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
Step 9
Remove from the oven and allow it to cool slightly before serving.
Step 10
Serve warm as a side dish or enjoy it on its own as a comforting treat.
