Time 40m

Yield 12 servings

Number Of Ingredients 13

1 teaspoon vegetable oil, plus more for the pan
2 ounces country ham, like Smithfield, finely chopped
1/2 cup corn kernels (from 1 ear corn)
1 clove garlic, peeled and finely chopped
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste, plus 1/2 teaspoon salt
1 1/2 cups yellow cornmeal
1/2 cup all-purpose flour
1/4 cup granulated sugar
2 teaspoons baking powder
1 cup whole milk
2 large eggs, beaten
1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted
Chili powder for garnish

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 400 degrees. In a skillet over medium-high heat, heat the oil. Add the ham, corn and garlic and stir until hot, about 1 minute. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Remove from the heat and cool.
  • Sift the cornmeal, flour, sugar, baking powder and 1/2teaspoon salt into a large bowl. Stir in the milk, eggs and butter until a smooth batter is formed. Stir in the ham mixture. Spoon half of the batter into each of the 12 scalloped cups of a greased madeleine pan and smooth the tops. Place in the oven and bake until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean, about 15 minutes. Invert onto a cooling rack. Sprinkle lightly with salt and chili powder. Repeat with the remaining batter. Serve warm. (Reheat the madeleines briefly in a 350-degree oven if necessary.)
