Chilli butter

115g (4oz) softened sweet butter
2 tbsp chilli sauce
1 tbsp honey or maple syrup
2 tbsp vegetable oil
1/2 cup finely chopped onion
Ingredients for Corn Cakes:

1 cup all-purpose flour
1 tsp baking powder
1/2 tsp salt
1 cup milk
1 egg
1 tbsp oil
2 tbsp basil
1 tsp garlic
1 tsp chilli
230g (8oz) can whole kernel corn
1 cup diced cooked ham
1/2 cup shredded Jack cheese
Method:

For the Chilli Butter: Beat softened sweet butter with chilli sauce and honey or maple syrup until blended and light. Spoon into a butter crock and chill until needed.
In a heavy-based skillet, heat vegetable oil and sauté finely chopped onion until golden.
Meanwhile, in a large bowl, combine all-purpose flour, baking powder and salt. In a liquid measure, combine milk, egg, oil, basil, garlic and chilli sauce.
Lightly stir mixture into dry ingredients. Fold in cooked onion, can whole kernel corn (well-drained), cooked ham and Jack cheese.
Heat the skillet (or use a griddle) to 350ªF (180ªC) or until a drop of water sizzles on contact. For each cake, cook about 1/3 cup batter for 2-3 minutes each side or until cooked through and golden. Serve warm with Sweet Chilli Butter and maple syrup.
