While corn season is pitifully short up here in the Toronto area, you can bet we get our fill while its here - especially since the price drops like a stone (last time I looked it was like 10 cents a cob at the market). Where I live, I'm fortunate enough to live close to a farm that flash-freezes all their extra produce (as well as some from surrounding producers), making a bag of frozen berries, beans, peaches or corn taste just as delectable in Winter as it did during that one week it was perfect in the field. I tell you, spreading out some frozen kernels on a baking sheet and broiling them until just so slightly blistered turns starchy vegetable into dinner-worthy candy!
Obviously, my normal method of indulging in this Summer staple is via the simple, savoury kitchen. I'm not about to change that passion regarding the "whole" form of the produce, but there are plenty of other ways I utilize corn products in cooking! I keep a decent stash of "plain" corn flour, cornstarch, dextrose (corn sugar), polenta and fine-milled cornmeal in the pantry, and when I discovered this Brazilian recipe a few weeks ago I thought it would be perfect for this #SundaySupper. Not only did the "corn" ingredient fit the theme, but with the Rio Olympics having kicked off this past Friday these little "golden" medallions look right at home on a viewing-party tray! While they're 100% gluten free, these buttery cookies are relatively easy to shape and have a perfect balance of "melt-in-your-mouth" and "sandy" textures. A touch of finely shredded coconut adds a touch of tropical flair, but if you're not a fan (or are allergic like me) leaving it (and the extract) out is no big deal. Either way, they're a hit with kids (and kids at heart) alike!
