• 2. Combine flour, masa, sugar, baking powder and salt in a medium bowl.
• 3. In a small bowl, combine eggs, milk and oil.
• 4. Add liquid ingredients to dry ingredients all at once, stirring as little as possible to combine well.
• 5. Gently fold in corn.
• 6. Pour into prepared pan, smooth top of batter and bake 25 minutes for a square pan, a bit longer for cast iron, until a toothpick inserted near the center comes out clean.
