Hello,

I have tried the internet and fell upon your site looking for a recipe. 
How lucky for me! As a little girl, my grandmother would stop at Awrey’s 
bakery in Detroit to pick up a package of corn toastums. They came in a 
package of six and cost 69 cents back then. Now they cost over $5.00! 
I think now they call them corn rounds or toaster rounds?

I am hoping you may be able to find the recipe so I can make them myself.

They are like a corn muffin but shaped like a disk so that they can fit 
into a toaster. They are sweeter and hold their shape better than a muffin.

Keep my fingers crossed!

Hi Mary Ellen,

I can't find a recipe or a copycat recipe that is specifically for the Awrey's Bakery product, but there are several similar products and recipes for similar toaster corn cakes.

(Originally from: http://www.kitchenmonki.com/recipe/Corn_Toasties)

Ingredients
5 ounces Sugar, granulated splenda for baking may be substituted.
1 stick Unsalted Butter, 1/2 cup, melted.
2 whole Egg
1 teaspoon Vanilla
1 1/2 teaspoons Baking Powder
7 ounces Corn Meal, yellow.
1 1/4 cups All-Purpose Flour
1/2 teaspoon Salt
1 cup Milk

Step 1 Preheat oven to 350°F.
Step 2 In a medium-sized bowl mix together the melted butter & the sugar.
Step 3 Stir in the eggs and vanilla.
Step 4 Add the baking powder, cornmeal, flour & salt. Mix until everything is moistened.
Step 5 Stir in milk & mix until almost smooth.
Step 6 Lightly grease a 10"x15" baking sheet with 1/2" sides. Pour the batter into the 
            baking sheet, spreading into all the corners. Tap the baking sheet on the counter 
			1 or 2 times to even out the batter.
Step 7 Bake for about 25 minutes. The edges should be browned and pulling away from   
            the sides of the pan. The top should be set.
Step 8 Allow to rest in the pan on a rack for 5 to 10 minutes. Then, using a sharp knife, 
            cut into individual pieces. (Suggested size: 2 1/2" x 3 3/4" rectangles)
