Decades ago, I used to love the Howard Johnson's "toasties" - I think that's
what they were called. They were blueberry or corn flat cakes that could be
put into the toaster. A bit like a flat muffin. I haven't been to a HoJo's
in probably 20 years, but from time to time I have wondered whether I could
duplicate them, but I never tried.
Now, when experimenting with Sally Lopez's fun "Forgiving Muffin Recipe" that
she posted here a while back, I accidentally made them, and they are great and
really quick and easy!
So, most of the credit must go to Sally. I have combined the blueberries and
the corn and made:
Blueberry Corn Toasties
Note: Uses Muffin Top/Hamburger Roll pan
Makes 6 toasties, recipe easily doubled
Preheat oven to 400
Melt 2 T butter or margarine in a pyrex mixing bowl
Add to it:
1 egg
1/2 C milk (I use nonfat) or milk substitute
2 T sugar
1/4 salt, a bit more or none if you wish
Into a one cup measure put:
A heaping T sweet rice flour
~ 1/4 C brown or white rice flour (I like brown)
The rest of the cup corn flour (masa harina works fine)
(Note: you can vary the ratios here to suit yourself and how "corny" you want
your toasties)
Mix the flour in with the wet stuff and ~1/3 cup blueberries, more or less
(frozen is fine, but thaw them a bit, I usually run a bit of hot water over
them in a strainer). Don't overmix.
Check to make sure the oven is hot and muffin top/hamburger bun pan is ready
(oil it if not nonstick) - Sally says this is key
Add 1.5 t baking powder, mix it in quickly and spoon batter into the "cups".
Bake for about 10-12 minutes. You can play with the times and temps, but take
them out when the top is lightly brown.
Eat as is, or, when cool, pop them in the toaster.
Enjoy!
