SWEET CORN CAKES
These cakes are an ode to my home state of Kansas, which I adore so much that I have an outline of it tattooed on my neck! Kansas has the dreamiest and sweetest corn you ever did eat. The polenta in this recipe produces a perfect, slightly dense, not-too-sweet dessert that's somewhere between cornbread and cake.

Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C), with a rack in the middle. Lightly grease eighteen 4-ounce ramekins, muffin cups (see Chef's Notes), or free-standing baking cups (see Chef's Notes) and place on two baking sheets.
- In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, polenta, sugar, baking powder, and salt.
- In another medium bowl, whisk the butter, honey, eggs, and buttermilk to combine. Add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients and whisk until well combined. Fold in the corn.
- Scoop the batter into the prepared ramekins or muffin cups, filling each just over three-quarters full.
- Bake the cakes (on the baking sheets) until they are golden at the edges and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean, 12 to 15 minutes. Let the cakes cool in the pans for 5 minutes, then unmold.
- Serve the cakes warm or at room temperature, with a dollop of creme fraiche and a drizzle of honey.
