Simple Portuguese Corn Cakes (Bolos de Milho)

This is an easy way to make Bolos de Milho, or Portuguese corn cakes. This is a traditional recipe in Portuguese cuisine which is very similar to other types of fried corn cakes. This unique variation is quite delicious with just the right amount of sweetness. I personally have made and enjoyed these bolos de milho many times before and I can say it is quite easy.
