- Note - Batter can be prepared ahead, cover & refrigerate up to 4 hours.

Diana, this recipe is wonderful! We enjoyed these little babies so much tonight. I made them for ZWT4, and we will make them again! I used my new little gadget called the "corn zipper," thereby removing the frolicking corn kernels which like to dance around the kitchen when using a chef's knife! I used only cooking spray, cutting the fat in a huge way! I had to add about a teaspoon of sugar because the corn we get here at this time of year has been on a truck for who knows how long. Maple syrup was great on this! This is a KEEPER! Sail On Babes!!!
