Crumble the yeast and dissolve in 350 millilitres of lukewarm water. Wash the herbs, dab dry and chop finely. Put the baking mix, fried onions, herbs and mixed yeast in a bowl.
Work through with the dough hooks of the hand mixer for three minutes and knead to a smooth dough. Cover the dough and let it rise in a warm place for 20 minutes. Then knead again well, form into a roll and cut off eight larger and eight smaller pieces of dough.
Form each piece into a pointed "grain-like" roll on a lightly floured work surface. Separate the egg. Brush the sides of the dough pieces with egg white. Put them together on a baking tray lined with baking paper to form an ear of corn.
Brush with whisked egg yolk and sprinkle with coarse salt and caraway seeds. Cover and leave to rise for another 20 minutes. Then bake in the preheated oven (electric oven: 200 °C/ gas: level 3) for 35 minutes.
Let the ear of corn cool down on a grid. Apple and onion lard goes well with it. Makes 16 servings.
