Broccoli Cornmeal Cakes & Cheese Sauce

In a large mixing bowl add flour, cornmeal, baking powder, salt, milk and egg and whisk together. Add vegetable oil, cooked broccoli florets and finely diced onion and mix together, incorporating all ingredients.

In a large (12″) skillet or frying pan add the sweet cream butter over medium heat. Once melted form patties with the batter (about 4″ diameter) and place into buttered skillet. Cook 3-4 minutes on each side. Remove the cooked cakes and repeat until the cornmeal batter is used. Place cooked broccoli cornmeal cakes on a platter lined with paper towel to drain any excess grease.

In a microwave safe bowl add shredded cheddar cheese and hot sauce if desired. Heat for 60 seconds at a time and stir well as you heat for additional 60 second increments.

Serve in an individual plate and drizzle the melted cheese over the broccoli cornmeal cakes. These are so delicious!
