Ingredients (per serving):
- 1/2 cup corn kernels
- 1/4 cup diced ham
- 1/4 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- 1/4 cup all-purpose flour
- 1/4 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 egg
- 1 tablespoon milk
- 1 tablespoon vegetable oil
Cooking Tips:
- Use fresh corn kernels for the best flavor and texture.
- Be sure to dice the ham into small pieces so that it distributes evenly throughout the bites.
- Don't overmix the batter, as this can make the bites tough.
Instructions:
1. Preheat the oven to 375°F.
2. In a medium bowl, combine the corn kernels, ham, and cheddar cheese.
3. In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, salt, and black pepper.
4. In a small bowl, beat the egg and milk together.
5. Add the egg mixture to the flour mixture and stir until just combined.
6. Add the corn mixture to the batter and stir until evenly distributed.
7. Grease a mini muffin tin with the vegetable oil.
8. Spoon the batter into the muffin cups, filling each about 3/4 full.
9. Bake for 15-20 minutes, or until the bites are golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
10. Let the bites cool for a few minutes before removing them from the muffin tin.
