Country Corncakes

• 1-1/2 cups yellow cornmeal
• 1/4 cup all-purpose flour
• 1 tablespoon sugar
• 1 teaspoon baking soda
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 1 large egg
• 1-1/2 cups buttermilk
• 2 tablespoons butter, melted
• 1-1/2 cups fresh corn or frozen corn
• Sour cream, optional
• 6 bacon strips, cooked and crumbled, optional
• 2 tablespoons minced chives, optional

1. In a small bowl, combine the first five ingredients; make a well in the center. In another bowl, beat the egg, buttermilk and butter; pour into well and stir just until blended. Gently stir in corn; do not overmix. Cover and let stand for 5 minutes.
2. Pour batter by 1/4 cupfuls onto a greased cast-iron skillet or griddle over medium-high heat. Turn when bubbles form on top, about 2-3 minutes. Cook until the second side is golden brown. Top with the sour cream, bacon and chives if desired.
