1 Chicken -- cut pieces w/skin
BROILER BASTING SAUCE
1/3 cup Lemon juice
1/3 cup Lime juice
1/3 cup Canola or vegetable oil
1 teaspoon Ground turmeric
1/2 teaspoon Garlic salt

Briefly simmer the cut-up chicken in a deep-sided skillet, keeping pieces
in single layer without crowding them, until the meat appears milky white
and the juices run clear, no longer pink. Allow to cool in the broth,
uncovered, while you prepare the basting sauce. Arrange the chicken pieces
skin-side up on broiler pan in single layer and baste with enough of
mixture to evenly coat skin side. Turn and baste other side. Turn again to
skin side up and broil 6" from the heat, brushing with additional sauce
every few minutes until skin is really crispy and golden brown,
approximately 5 to 8 minutes for large pieces. BASTING MIXTURE-Mix juices,
oil, turmeric, salt and pepper. This makes enough to baste nine pieces.

El Torito Sweet Corn Cake
Recipe By : El Torito Restaurant, California
Serving Size : 12 Preparation Time :0:30
Categories : Breads Copycat
Mexican
Amount Measure Ingredient -- Preparation Method
-------- ------------ --------------------------------
1/4 cup butter or margarine
2 tablespoons shortening
1/2 cup masa harina
3 tablespoons cold water
10 ounces corn kernels
3 tablespoons cornmeal
1/4 cup sugar
2 tablespoons whipping cream
1/4 teaspoon baking powder
1/4 teaspoon salt
My favorite, and well worth the effort. Masa harina comes in a bag like
flour and can be found with the flour in most supermarkets. It's the flour
to use for corn tortillas. The recipe doubles easily and turns out well with
either of the two methods provided. -- Ann Weeks, Corona Method two is the
moist scoop we usually get at the restaurant. -- patH
-----
Place butter and shortening in mixer bowl and whip until soft; continue
whipping until fluffy and creamy. Add masa gradually while mixing; add water
gradually and mix thoroughly.
Place corn kernels in blender or food processor fitted with metal blade;
coarsely chop. Stir into the masa harina. Place (regular) cornmeal, sugar,
whipping cream, baking powder and salt in large mixing bowl; mix quickly.
Add masa mixture and mix lightly, just until blended. Pour into greased
8-inch-square baking pan. Cover with foil.
Method 1: Bake in 350-degree oven 40 to 50 minutes or until corn cake has a
firm texture.
Method 2: Place pan in a larger pan and pour boiling water half way up corn
cake pan. Bake at 350 degrees 40 to 50 minutes, checking water level and
adding more boiling water, if necessary. When cooked through, remove corn
cake pan from water.
Let cooked cake stand at room temperature for few minutes before cutting
into squares or using a small ice cream scoop to serve.
