Tamale Corn Cakes

These are absolutely delicious! An amazing cooking and eating experience! I usually triple this when I have a group of friends over for a movie and dinner, or playing cards, or just about anything. I make a batch of my chili, Award Winning Chili With Unusual Twist to go with these and I never have any leftovers! I have to make up recipe cards for each of them to hand out to guests. You know, that one recipe that just has your name all through it and you're so proud of?
