Ingredients
Instructions
- Melt the butter or margarine in a shallow pan.
- Combine the biscuit mix and cream-style corn; stir until soft dough forms.
- Knead the dough about 15 strokes on a lightly floured surface.
- Roll out the dough and cut into strips or desired shapes.
- Roll each piece in the melted butter.
- Bake at 450°F (232°C) for 10 to 12 minutes until golden brown.
Tips & Substitutions
For extra flavor, consider adding herbs like rosemary or thyme to the dough. If you don’t have biscuit mix, you can make a homemade version using flour, baking powder, and salt. Ensure the butter is hot enough for a nice crisp texture but not smoking. Adjust baking time depending on your oven’s performance to achieve the perfect golden brown.
Serving Suggestions
Oven Buttered Cornsticks are delightful served warm alongside soups or stews, adding a comforting touch to your meal. They pair beautifully with a fresh salad, such as Cheese, Pea And Pickle Salad. For a sweet finish, consider serving them with a dessert like Chocolate Peppermint Brownies for a delicious contrast.
Storage & Reheating
To store leftovers, place the cornsticks in an airtight container and refrigerate for up to 3 days. For reheating, preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and heat the cornsticks for about 5-7 minutes until warmed through and crisp. Avoid microwaving as it can make them soggy.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I use a different type of corn instead of cream-style corn?
Yes, you can substitute cream-style corn with regular canned corn blended to a smooth consistency. This will alter the texture slightly but still provide a pleasant corn flavor. Adjust the moisture level by adding a little milk or water if needed to form the dough.
What can I serve with Oven Buttered Cornsticks?
These cornsticks are versatile and can be enjoyed with various dishes. They pair well with chili, hearty soups, or as a side to grilled meats. For a complete meal, consider serving them with a light salad or roasted vegetables to balance their richness.
Can I make the dough ahead of time?
It's best to prepare the dough fresh for optimal texture, but you can prepare it ahead of time and refrigerate it for up to 24 hours. Just be sure to wrap it tightly to prevent drying out, and let it come to room temperature before rolling out and baking for the best results.
