CORN FRITTERS

• MATERIALS
• ½ cup canned corn
• 1 egg
• ¼ teaspoon salt
• 1½ cup flour
• 1½ teaspoon baking-powder
• 2 tablespoons milk
• ½ cup fat for frying

• UTENSILS
• Tablespoon
• Mixing-bowl
• Sifter
• Small bowl
• Dover beater
• Frying-pan
• Pancake-turner
• Colander with paper

 

DIRECTIONS

1. Stir the corn and milk together in a mixing-bowl, and sift the flour, salt, and baking-powder into this.
2. Beat the egg in a small bowl, add it to the materials in the mixing-bowl, and stir well together.
3. Melt the fat in the frying-pan, and put the mixture into this (when the fat begins to smoke), a separate spoonful at a time. Turn the fritters frequently while frying, so that they will brown on all sides.
4. Drain the fritters on soft crumpled paper in a colander.
