Aki is a popcorn junky. We have fresh popcorn in the house daily. So, the idea of popcorn is always at the back of my mind. Our friends at Pulled Fork BBQ make some delicious, Hell Yeah, creamed corn. The base is canned corn. I have seen the corn water being discarded for months and have wanted to find a use for it. I was thinking in their world, not mine. Finally today it dawned on me. The flavor packed liquid would make a delicious doughnut glaze. I asked them to reserve the corn water for me and I set about making a glaze with the idea of popcorn in mind. I added a bit of heavy cream for richness and vanilla because I like vanilla. The result was a creamy, corny, sweet glaze reminiscent of popcorn. It will be on doughnuts in the morning. Once I had a use for the corn water, I realized it would be incredible to boil hot dogs in it for a simple take on corn dogs. It's a great use to give back to them for their world.
