Although these are called fritters, they more closely resemble pancakes. Can be prepared in 45 minutes or less. Ingredients:
3 bacon slices |
3 ears corn |
1 large egg |
3 tablespoons all-purpose flour |
1 1/2 tablespoons sugar |
1 teaspoon baking powder |
1/2 teaspoon salt |
freshly ground black pepper to taste |
accompaniment: pure maple syrup or sliced tomatoes |
Directions:
1. In a heavy skillet cook bacon over moderately low heat until crisp. Transfer bacon to paper towels to drain and reserve bacon fat in a heatproof bowl. Crumble bacon.
2. Working in a large bowl and using the largest holes of a 4-sided grater, grate corn until you have about 1/2 cup. Lightly beat egg and add to corn. Stir in flour, sugar, baking powder, salt, and pepper until combined well.
3. In skillet heat 1 tablespoon reserved bacon fat over moderate heat. Working in 2 batches, form fritters by dropping 1/8-cup measures of batter for each into skillet and cook until golden brown, 1 to 2 minutes on each side. Serve fritters warm with bacon and syrup or tomatoes.
