Ingredients

1/2 cup yellow cornmeal
1/2 cup all-purpose flour
2 tablespoons sugar
1 1/4 teaspoons baking powder
Salt to taste if desired
3/4 cup plus 3 tablespoons heavy cream
2 tablespoons melted butter
1 egg, separated, white stiffly beaten
1 tablespoon butter
1/2 cup corn kernels freshly cut from the cob
Oil for greasing the mold

Steps:

Preheat the oven to 425 degrees.
Select a standard mold for making corn sticks. Place it in the oven until thoroughly heated.
Meanwhile, combine the cornmeal, flour, sugar, baking powder and salt in a mixing bowl. Blend well.
Blend the cream, 2 tablespoons of melted butter and egg yolk. Add this to the cornmeal mixture, stirring to blend.
Melt 1 tablespoon of butter in a small skillet and add the corn. Cook, stirring, just until heated through. Stir this into the batter.
Fold the egg white into the mixture.
Brush the corn stick mold lightly with oil. Spoon an equal portion of the filling inside each corn stick mold.
Bake 15 to 20 minutes. Serve hot.
