  • 1 1/2 cup plain yogurt
  • 2 eggs
  • 1/2 cup brown sugar
  • 1 cup yellow cornmeal

Directions

  • Preheat oven to 375.
  • In a mixing bowl or stand mixer, beat together the butter, yogurt, eggs and brown sugar.  Add the cornmeal, flour, soda and salt.  Mix until batter forms.
  • In a cast iron skillet (or other ovenproof 10″-ish skillet), add the olive oil and heat over high heat.  Add in the frozen corn and brown sugar and saute for about 5 minutes.
  • Pour the batter over top of the sauteed corn and stir the corn into the batter.  Immediately place the skillet into the preheated oven.
