MOM JOSETTE'S CORN FRITTERS

Steps:

• 1. Drain corn well and combined with all ingredients. Mix well and let stand for approximately 15 minutes.
• 2. Heat frying pan (griddle or caste iron griddle/pan) on medium heat. Add oil and one pat of butter to coat the bottom of pan/griddle. When oil/butter is hot and starting to sizzle, add corn fritter batter and fry on both sides to a golden brown.
• 3. (Depending on the size you want the corn fritter to be, depends on the measuring vessel to use.) Drain on paper towels.

GREAT GRANDMA'S CORN FRITTERS

Steps:

• 1. adjust an oven rack to the middle position and heat the oven to 200°. Set a wire rack over a rimmed baking sheet and set aside.
• 2. Grate each ear of corn over the large holes of a box grater into a bowl. Using the back of the butter knife, scrape any remaining milk from the cob into the bowl.
• 3. Whisk the egg yolks, flour, salt and pepper into the corn mixture.
• 4. In a medium bowl, beat the egg whites and cream of tartar with electric mixer on medium low speed until foamy. Increase the speed to medium-high, gradually add the sugar, and whip until the whites form stiff peaks, 1 to 3 minutes. Gently fold the whipped egg whites into the batter until mixed.
• 5. Heat 1 tablespoon of the oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat until shimmering. Drop six heaping tablespoons of batter into the oil, then flatten each into a 2 1/2 inch diameter circle with the back of spoon. Cook until puffed and golden brown on both sides, about two minutes, flipping halfway through. Transfer the fritters to a paper towel lined plate, then transfer to the prepared wire rack and keep warm in the oven. Repeat with remaining oil and the remaining batter in five batches. Sprinkle with chives and serve. Serves 6 to 8

GRANDMA'S CORN FRITTERS

Steps:

• Combine corn, eggs, milk, butter, salt and pepper to taste, if using.
• Add flour gradually, just enough to hold mixture together.
• Amount of flour depends on size of eggs (and weather according to my grandma!).
• Heat 1/2 inch of oil in frying pan.
• Form patties whatever size you'd like, I do small ones so my kids can hold them.
• Fry in hot oil until golden brown.
• Serve as side dish OR if you left out the salt and pepper serve with syrup on the side.
• You can also dust with powdered sugar.

GRANDMA MOORE'S CREAMED CORN

Steps:

• In a large skillet, (seasoned cast iron does well here) cook the bacon over medium-high heat until crisp. Turn off the heat and transfer the bacon to a paper towel lined plate. Reserve the drippings in the pan.
• On a cutting board, cut the stalk ends of the corn cobs to make a flat surface; stand them up and shave the corn from the cobs with a sharp chef's knife. Return the skillet to medium-low heat, and add the corn kernels. With the back of the knife, firmly scrape the cobs over a shallow plate to extract as much liquid (milk) as possible and add it to the skillet.
• Season corn lightly with salt and pepper and cook until broken down and creamy, about 30 to 45 minutes, stirring often; add water if the pan gets too dry.
• Serve warm or at room temperature.
