The number of corn cakes per person can vary depending on how big or small you make them. Generally, it is recommended to plan for about two-three small corn cakes per person as a side dish or one large corn cake as an entree. If you are serving more than three people and want to ensure everyone has enough, consider making four-five small corn cakes per person. Additionally, when preparing a meal for a larger family gathering or party, it may be wise to double the recipe so that there will be plenty of food to go around. No matter what, these flavorful little snacks are sure to be crowd-pleasers! Enjoy!
