Bisquick Toaster Corn Cakes (Or Corn Sticks)
I love foods using cornmeal and enjoy cornbread/muffins. I was having a casual dinner party with chili and I wanted to dress up my dinner a bit, so I decided to "enhance" my muffins by using a muffin-top pan (makes flat muffins, resembling a toaster cake). These cooked up exactly how I hoped, crusty outside, soft inside, and in a perfect circle. I then "topped" the chili with them. They looked so picture perfect, and received much praise. They are delicious as leftovers since they don't crumble. The recipe (Bisquick Cookbook) makes them in a loaf pan and you cut them into sticks. I have not tried that yet, but remembering their great texture (and great photo) I'm sure they'd set up nicely. I doubled the recipe exactly. Did I mention the leftovers are fabulous smeared with honey!
