Maple syrup and corn? Doesn't necessarily sound like my first choice of taste combinations, but they go together hand and glove when the corn is in corncakes. This is a classic dish in Amish homes especially at the end of the harvest when corn is plentiful. They can be elnjoyed with butter for a savory meal or drowned in maple syrup for something sweeter. That is my preference. These are some amazing tasting (I know because I've sampled them) from Yoder's Restaurant in Sarasota, Florida. One of our readers enjoyed a meal there this past week and shared the photo. While this isn't Yoder's recipe, this is a great corncake recipe given to me by an Amish woman in Indiana.

Darn! This looks good. I have all the ingredients. They will be my brunch pretty soon. Yes, with butter AND maple syrup.
Thanks for the recipe.
