  1. Sounds amazing! We have always used saltines but going to try with Town House this year. Haven’t tried it yet but I plan to add some sour cream and mayonnaise along with some onion, bacon, parmesan and a little chili powder to make a Mexican street corn version of scalloped corn for Thanksgiving. Praying it goes well lol. Im sure it will.

  2. Hi Sabrina,
    Is it 1/2 a teaspoon or tablespoon of kosher salt?
    As we can’t buy kosher salt here I was wondering how I could convert kosher salt amounts to other salts eg table salt or a coarse grained cooking salt. Do you know?

    1. Thanks for catching that. You’ll want to use 1/2 teaspoon of kosher salt or you can also use coarse sea sat or Himalayan pink salt. Enjoy!
