Corn Fritters

Corn Fritters

This recipe is from my first Home Economics class (9^th grade) and my brother Brad would eat them as fast as I could fry them up!

1 C. Flour

1 tsp. Baking Powder

1/4 tsp. each Salt & Pepper

1 Egg, beaten

1/2 C. Milk

1 + 1/2 tsp. Shortening, melted & cooled

1 + 1/2 C. Corn, drained

Oil for frying

Powdered Sugar

 

Sift flour, baking powder, salt and pepper.  Combine egg, milk and shortening.  Stir in dry ingredients – mixing only until smooth.  Add corn.  Dip Tbl. into hot oil (365°) and then drop spoonful of batter in oil; repeating until you have a full layer of fritters.  Turn to brown both sides.  Drain on paper towels and sift powdered sugar on top.
