Here's an old-fashioned recipe that's welcome at any meal. The pretty golden fritters are a perfect addition to a down-home breakfast or brunch in place of typical pancakes. You'll be amazed at how quickly they disappear. Ingredients:
2 eggs |
1/3 cup milk |
1-1/4 cups king arthur unbleached all-purpose flour |
1 tablespoon sugar |
2 teaspoons baking powder |
1/2 teaspoon salt |
dash pepper |
1 cup fresh or frozen corn, cooked and drained |
1 cup chopped fully cooked ham |
oil for deep-fat frying |
Directions:
1. Separate eggs; let stand at room temperature for 30 minutes. In a large bowl, beat egg yolks until slightly thickened. Beat in milk. Combine the flour, sugar, baking powder, salt and pepper; add to yolk mixture and mix well. Stir in corn and ham.
2. In a small bowl, beat egg whites on high speed until stiff peaks form. Fold into the corn mixture.
3. In an electric skillet or deep-fat fryer, heat oil to 375°. Drop batter by heaping tablespoonfuls, a few at a time, into hot oil. Fry until golden brown, about 1 minute on each side, turning with a slotted spoon. Drain on paper towels. Yield: 2 dozen.
