I love corn but having stomach issues. I’m going home from UVA hospital in a couple days and think I’ll puree the corn and make the corn fitters. Think this will work as well as using the kernels?
Hi Janet! The consistency of the batter will be much thinner so you’ll need to adjust the liquids.
I love them all
I have a question about microwaving the corn. Do you soak in water first and roughly for how long? I noticed a wet area when you lifted corn off of board, so am guessing that’s from added water / soaking.
Great idea & I especially love how to cut corn off using a Bundt pan ~ Easy Peasy!
Thank you????
Hi Beth! No need to soak it. The liquid you see is from the steam :)
