I used buttermilk and a little less sugar. Very good! Next time I will follow the recommendation to roast the corn kernels.
These turned out delicious. I did add more sugar (1/3 cup) and topped with a sliced jalapeno- they looked really pretty!
I roasted the corn kernels (used frozen) before adding to the mix. Worked well.
