This was really good! It went perfectly with chili and was very easy (I cheated and used my stick blender to chop the corn in with the butter, etc.). I also used all cornmeal as my grocery store only had a large bag of masa. I did cut back on the sugar a bit (and next time will add more a little more salt). Thank you for a keeper!

We loved this recipe! I served it topped with spicy grilled shrimp and a cool adobo cream sauce. The dish came out very similar to a restaurant's that we frequent. Thanks!

Came out great! Don Pablo's would accasionally do this as well and I loved it. Nice to be able to make these myself. I used white corn meal rather than the yellow and the dish came out fine.
