Step 1.
Prepare the cake dough as directed, but replace ¼ cup of the all-purpose flour with ¼ cup (40 grams) fine or medium grind cornmeal, replace the sugar with ¼ cup honey, and replace the nutmeg with 1 teaspoon freshly grated lemon zest. After mixing the wet ingredients, fold in ¼ cup sweet corn.

Step 2.
Heat oil in a deep pot or fryer to 330°F (165°C). Drop rounded spoonfuls of the batter into the hot oil, frying in batches without crowding. Fry until light golden brown, about 1 minute per side, turning once. Drain on paper towels.

Step 3.
Let the doughnuts cool slightly before glazing with Honey glaze, if desired.
