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.

spreading into all the corners.
Tap the baking sheet on the counter 1 or 2 times to even out the batter.

The top should be set.
