My Grandma Logans Jamess Fried Corn Food

GRANDMA PEGGY'S CORNMEAL ROLLS

Steps:

• Cook milk, cornmeal, butter or margarine, sugar, and salt in medium saucepan until slightly thickened. Add 1/2 cup water and mix well. Set aside to cool. Soften active dry yeast in warm water (110 degrees F). Combine cornmeal mixture, yeast, and 2 well-beaten eggs. Add enough flour to make a soft dough. Place in greased bowl, turning once to grease surface and cover. When dough has doubled in size, cut and shape dough into dinner rolls. Let rise in warm place, about 1 hour. Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F. Bake rolls for 12 to 15 minutes.

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.

GRANNY'S CORNBREAD

Steps:

• Mix meal, salt and baking powder together. Add boiling water, stir well with a spoon, it will be very stiff (the boiling water will start the cooking process before you fry it). Add egg and milk stir until well mixed. Mix will be very sticky, so wet hands and shape into submarine shaped ovals and drop into hot oil (you must keep hands wet or batter will stick to hands). Brown on all sides and remove. Place on paper towels to drain off excess oil. Serve.

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.
