Prep Time 10 minutes
Cook Time 10 minutes
Servings12 mini corn cakes

Ingredients
 
 

  • 8.5 oz. box Jiffy corn muffin mix
  • 1 egg W (W)
  • cup milk (W, if cow's milk or soy milk)
  • 15 oz. packaged, pre-cooked pulled pork sauce or sauceless
  • 4 broccoli florets
  • Bread and butter pickle chips

Instructions
 

  • In a medium bowl, pour Jiffy mix. Add the egg and milk. Whisk until fully combined and no lumps remain.
  • Heat up a cast-iron pan or a non-stick pan to medium heat.
  • Scoop 1 Tbs. corn muffin mix into the pan. Continue to add 1 Tbs. at a time to the pan but do not crowd it. Cook on each side for 2-3 minutes. (Note: Keep an eye on the corn cakes so they do not burn. Different stove tops can range in heat levels.)
  • Once done, let corn cakes cool on a plate or paper towel.
  • Prepare pulled pork according to package directions.
  • To steam broccoli, place broccoli florets upside down in a microwave-safe bowl with 1 inch of water. Microwave 2-3 minutes or until broccoli is tender. Season to taste with salt and pepper.
  • Serve pulled pork and corn cakes as mini sliders with broccoli and pickles on the side. Or serve all elements separately.

  • This recipe can also be made into 3 full-sized sandwiches.
