My grandmother's recipe for corn fritters made with a can of cream style corn.



My corn fritters served with slices of Maple River Ham and my home made Maple syrup from our trees almost makes this breakfast Canadian !


You will need a can of cream style corn, egg, 1/3 cup milk, 1/3 cup flour, dash of salt, 1 heaping teaspoon baking powder, and about 3/4 cup of cracker crumbs.



Empty the can of corn in your mixing bowl. Break the egg into the empty can and beat it before dumping into corn.



Rinse your corn can with 1/3 cup milk and blend together your wet ingredients.



Add the baking powder, salt and if you want a tablespoon of sugar to the flour mixing them well.



Crush about 3/4 cup of crackers with a rolling pin.



Dump them into the wet mix.



Add the dry flour mix on top of the cracker crumbs before stirring.

I use a spray canola oil in my non-stick frying pan.



After mixing thoroughly the dry ingredients in with the "wet" you may adjust the moisture content with either more milk or additional flour it all depends on the creaminess of the corn. Allow your pan to get warm then pour your first corn fritter.



When the surface of the fritter changes texture and gets "bubbly" it is ready to flip!



Allow the flipped side to fry to a golden brown too.



I made us a nice thick steak of the Maple River Ham in the Foreman



The corn fritter topped with real melted butter, home made maple syrup, and flanked by that delicious ham gave us the perfect breakfast to start off the day.

Our poor mailman had to deliver up to the house today. All my EEbay winnings showed up at once; a new white business shirt, a couple pair of running shoes,, a Confederate banknote, a sweater, some silver coins and some of those BIG Old Pre-decimal Penny coins from NZ, Aussieland, and the UK.... I may need to get a mailbox the size of a washing machine.



My new wall sconce was not with all the other packages


?????????????

Why didn't Canada have those great BIG Penny coins?????

I have just RUN since we woke this morning. JD & Co took off up North to pick corn while I was left with the new guy to feed the critters. The oak firewood I brought in is too wet yet and has to dry out a few days.



I have NOT forgotten about posting the fritter recipe...... Just recipe blogs are the toughest to put together and it is already after 10 here.

No !!!! I am NOT talking about some politician in Washington !!!!






Our dining room seems dark in some corners even though we have the big Austrian Maria Theresa.



I found these on line... There is NOT really a wide selection to choose from. EEbay SUX so does Menard's....



While I have been known to play with Electricity .



I do have an experienced, certified, Journeyman electrician for a close friend to help me install them.

The Dang Chemo has me a bit worn down.... Not kept up with regular blog postings. I did purchase a can of Cream Style Corn and made us corn fritters for breakfast so Roger et al; gets the old recipe my grandmother taught me. MUTTs Inc need a revolving door.... they can't decide to be outside watching me do Christmas decorations and load in firewood... OR ... be in the nice warm house napping.



Farm boi; JD is doing "Dirt work" on his "day Off" from up North..

Some scumbag tossed out a cat and it wandered up to our place reduced to skin & bones. I got it a bowl of food and dish of water out in the Beemer pad where it is warm.



Our barn cats are all well fed from mice and cat food we set out for them in the outbuildings and stable.
