In a medium saucepan over medium-high heat, melt the butter. Once melted, add the corn and cook for 10 minutes or until lightly caramelized. Deglaze the pan with 1 oz spiced rum. Add the corn, milk, eggs, and remaining spiced rum to a food processor, then blend for 30 seconds. Next, add the dry ingredients and blend for an additional 30 seconds. Pour the batter into a container that is roughly 6” deep for dipping.
