CORN FRITTERS
3 eggs, separated
1/2 tsp salt
1 1/2 cups corn, fresh or canned pepper
1/2 cup flour
oil
You can use up leftover cooked corn on the cob for this recipe.
Remove the pulp from the cobs by slitting each ear down the center
line of the kernels. Scrape out the pulp and juice. Alternately,
canned cream style corn can be used.
Beat the egg yolks until light. Add the corn. Add the seasonings
and the flour. Beat the egg whites until light with a pinch of
salt. Fold into mixture.
Heat a little oil in a frying pan. Drop the batter, by tablespoons,
into the hot oil. Cook until brown, turning once. Drain the fritters
well and serve hot.
Serves 6 to 8
LOW FAT OPTION
Instead of frying the Corn Fritters in oil, you can put them
on a non-stick cookie sheet and bake in the oven at 375 degrees.
Serves 4 as an appetizer.
