1/2 teaspoon salt |
1/2 cup grated cheddar cheese |
1 cup milk |

1/2 cup corn kernel (fresh or frozen) |
3 tablespoons corn oil |
Directions:
1. Put the cornmeal in a food processor and grind until fine.
2. Put the cornmeal in a large bowl with the salt and cheese.
3. In a small saucepan heat the milk over medium heat until it comes to a steady simmer.
4. Add the butter to the pan and stir until melted.
5. Take pan off the heat and add to the cornmeal mixture to form a thick batter.
6. Fold in the corn kernels.
