Mexican Corn Pie Pastel De Elote Recipes

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease and flour a 9-inch cake pan. Chill in freezer.
• Cut kernels from ears of corn with a sharp knife. Beat butter in a large bowl with an electric mixer until smooth and creamy.
• Combine eggs, condensed milk, whole milk, and corn kernels in a blender; blend until smooth. Transfer egg mixture to a bowl with butter and mix well.
• Sift flour, baking powder, cinnamon, and salt into a large bowl. Add egg mixture and mix well to combine.
• Remove cake pan from freezer. Grease and flour again. Pour batter into prepared pan.
• Bake in the preheated oven until cake is golden brown and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean, about 45 minutes. Cool in the pan for 15 minutes, then remove from tin and cool on a wire rack.

Steps:

• Heat corn in a skillet over medium heat until steaming, about 5 minutes. Remove from heat and drain water.
• Fill several cups or mugs halfway with the corn. Add 1 tablespoon mayonnaise, 1 tablespoon Parmesan cheese, and 1 to 2 teaspoons chile-lime seasoning to each cup. Squeeze lime juice on top.

Steps:

• Grease a 10 inch pie plate generously with shortening.
• In a large bowl, beat eggs.
• Add remaining ingredients and stir until thoroughly mixed.
• Pour into pie plate and bake uncovered at 350 degrees for about one hour.
• The pie may be baked and kept in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
• Reheat refrigerated pie at 350 degrees for about 20 minutes.
• The pie may also be frozen after baking and kept frozen for up to 3 months.
• Thaw and reheat at 350 degrees for about 20 minutes.

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350°F.
• Grease a 9 x 13-inch glass baking dish with the melted butter. Using an electric mixer, beat the 12 tablespoons butter and the sugar until pale and fluffy. Add the egg yolks, one at a time, blending well after each addition. Set aside, still in the mixer bowl.
• Combine half of the corn kernels and half of the milk in a blender and puree to make a coarse creamy mixture. Transfer it to a large bowl. Repeat with the remaining corn and milk.
• Mix the flour, baking powder, and salt in a small bowl.
• Alternate adding the corn puree and the flour mixture to the butter mixture, mixing well after each addition. Transfer the mixture to a large bowl.
• Using a clean electric mixer, whip the egg whites on high speed to form stiff peaks. Gently fold the egg whites into the corn mixture. Transfer the batter to the prepared baking dish, and bake for 1 hour and 20 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and a tester inserted into the center comes out clean. Let the corn bread cool slightly. Then cut it into squares and serve warm.

Steps:

• Make the charred poblano butter: Preheat the oven to 450˚F (230˚C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or aluminum foil.
• Place the poblanos on the prepared baking sheet, spacing evenly. Roast the peppers, using tongs to rotate every 10 minutes, until the peppers are well-charred and browned all over, about 30 minutes total. Immediately transfer the poblanos to a medium bowl and cover with plastic wrap. Let the peppers steam for 10-15 minutes to loosen the skins.
• Remove a pepper from the bowl and re-cover the remaining peppers. Use your hands (wear gloves if you have sensitive skin) to peel off the charred skin and discard, along with the seeds. Place the pepper flesh into a separate bowl and repeat with the remaining peppers. Do not rinse the peppers to remove the seeds or skin; it will wash away that charred flavor. Let the peppers cool.
• Transfer the poblanos to a food processor, along with the butter, Cotija cheese, cilantro, salt, lime zest, and lime juice. Process on high speed until completely smooth. Season with more salt and lime juice to taste if needed, then transfer to an airtight container and cover. Set aside at room temperature if using the same day, or refrigerate for up to 2 weeks.
• Make the pepita pan de elote: Reduce the oven temperature 350˚F (180˚C). Line an 8-inch round cake pan with parchment paper and grease with nonstick spray.
• Add the corn kernels and crema Mexicana to a food processor and process on high speed until creamy, yet chunky in texture, about 30 seconds.
• In a medium bowl, whisk together the masa harina, baking powder, and salt.
• In a large bowl, use an electric hand mixer on high speed to cream the butter until soft, about 30 seconds. Add the sugar and egg yolks and continue beating until fluffy, about 1 minute. Add the corn mixture and beat to combine. Add the dry ingredients and mix on low speed until just combined, then mix in the pepitas until just incorporated.
• In a separate medium bowl, use the hand mixer with clean, dry beaters to whip the egg whites until they hold stiff, glossy peaks, 1-2 minutes.
• Add about ¼ of the egg whites at a time to the corn batter and gently fold with a rubber spatula, taking care not to deflate the egg whites, until just incorporated.
• Pour the batter into the prepared pan and use a spatula to smooth the top.
• Bake the pan de elote for about 40 minutes, until a wooden toothpick inserted into the center of the cake comes out clean and the edges of the cake are golden brown. Remove from the oven and let cool completely.
• Serve the pepita pan de elote with the charred poblano butter alongside.
• Enjoy!
