INGREDIENTS:
6 ears fresh tender corn 1 teaspoon salt, if desired



1 Remove husks from corn by cutting off ends. Save larger husks and wash them. Remove silks from corn.
2 Cut corn from cob, scraping as much milk from the cob as possible.
3 Grind corn with the fine blade of a hand meat grinder. (An electric blender can be used also, but tends to separate the starch, so it is necessary to stir the corn well.)
4 Add salt and mix well.
5 Put a tablespoon of corn mixture into a clean husk. Fold the left edge of husk over corn, then the right edge. Finally, fold the top end up towards the center.
6 Stand rolls upright, open side up, in a jelly roll or similar pan.
7 Bake in a preheated 325 F oven for thirty minutes, or until corn mixture is solid.
8 Serve as corn bread with stews, soups, or roasted meat.
