Joan MacIssac and Irene Costello of Effie's Homemade drew inspiration from American classics such as cornmeal flatbreads, corn pones and johnny cakes for their corncakes. The sweetness of the corn shines through in these crisp, buttery biscuits. A touch of anise makes these cakes the perfect mate for a succulent goat cheese such as Coupole or a hearty jam. These aren't just for snacking--substitute Effie's corncakes for graham crackers for a delightful crust for cheesecake.
