In a large non-stick skillet heat oil over moderately-high heat until hot but not smoking and, working in batches, drop batter by ¼-cup measures into skillet. Spread batter slightly to form 3½- to 4-inch cakes and cook 2 to 3 minutes on each side, or until golden brown. Transfer corncakes as cooked to a heatproof platter and keep warm. Serve corncakes with sour cream, chopped red onion and lemon slices. This recipe yields about 6 corncakes, serving 2 as a brunch entree.
