Ingredients

Serves 5 

  • 3 large eggs
  • 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
  • 2 teaspoons lemon juice
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
  • 2 drops hot pepper sauce
  • 1 (14 3/4-ounce) can salmon, drained, flaked
  • 1 (11-ounce) can whole kernel corn, drained
  • 1/2 cup sour cream
  • 1/4 cup shredded American cheese
  • 2 tablespoons chopped pimiento
Directions
  1. 1

    Preheat the griddle to 350°F.

  2. 2

    Combine eggs, flour, lemon juice, salt, black pepper and hot pepper sauce in a large bowl. Beat with an electric mixer set at medium speed until mixture is foamy.

  3. 3

    Add salmon and corn to the egg mixture and stir to mix well.

  4. 4

    Grease preheated griddle. Drop the salmon mixture by 1/4 cupfuls onto griddle, pressing lightly to flatten into cakes.

  5. 5

    Cook until golden, about 4 to 5 minutes per side. Transfer to a serving platter.

    Combine the sour cream, American cheese and pimiento in a medium sauce pan. Cook over low heat, stirring continually, just until bubbly, about 2 minutes. Serve with the cakes.

Grandma's Secret Trick

Grandma's Secret Trick

Since these corn cakes are ideal for a quick appetizer or first course for dinner guests, Grandma made smaller cakes for those occasions. She used only 1 tablespoon of batter but otherwise followed the directions. Then she placed the cooked cakes on a baking sheet lined with a paper towel and kept them warm in the oven. For a pretty touch, she sometimes topped each one with a small strip of roasted red pepper and a sprig of dill.
