James's Corn Fritters

3 bacon slices
3 ears corn
1 large egg
3 tbs all purpose flour
5 ½ tbs sugar
1 tesp Baking powder
Salt & pepper


 In a heavy skillet cook bacon over moderately low heat until crisp.
 Transfer bacon to paper towels to drain and reserve bacon fat in a
 heatproof bowl. Crumble bacon.

 
 Working in a large bowl and using the largest holes of a 4-sided grater,

 grate corn until you have about 1/2 cup. Lightly beat egg and add to

 corn. Stir in flour, sugar, baking powder, salt, and pepper until

 combined well.

 In skillet heat 1 tablespoon reserved bacon fat over moderate heat.

 Working in 2 batches, form fritters by dropping 1/8-cup measures of
 batter for each into skillet and cook until golden brown, 1 to 2 minutes

 on each side. Serve fritters warm with bacon and syrup or tomatoes. Makes

 about 6 fritters, serving 2 or 3 as a side dish.



Do you want me to tell you something really subversive? Love is everything it's cracked up to be. That's why people are so cynical about it... It really is worth fighting for, being brave for, risking everything for. And the trouble is, if you don't risk anything, you risk even more.
