These corn cakes are basically a mix between cornbread, hushpuppies and pancakes … and they are DELICIOUS! These were perfect to serve with some spicy shrimp and chipolte butter!! I will make these for my next party! You could totally make them the day before, let them cool, and heat in the oven the day of the party! Top with one shrimp and you have a perfect hors d’oeuvre. Give these a try. Let’s just say I’m obsessed!
