My Mother Myself

My mother, Jo, and I have this really bad habit of tearing recipes and cooking tips from magazines and neatly organizing them in notebooks. We have actually made some of those recipes. That would probably account for about 1%. All the others we would really, really like to make. Yesterday she gave me one of her notebooks. To say the least - I was thrilled. As I ran thru the notebook I decided I would post some of them here for the next year (or so . . . ) and a few of mine. Some of them are oldies from family. Some will have no reference. Let's see how this goes . . . . .

Goodnight Dick . . . . .

Before we begin with Jo's collection for 2013 I thought it would be fitting to end 2012 with this favorite recipe from a favorite person of ours  . . . . . . Happy New Year

DICK CLARK'S CORN FRITTERS
Dick Clark’s Corn Fritters

  • 4 Servings

  • Prep 10 min
  • Cook 15 min

Ingredients:

  • One 15-ounce can creamed corn
  • 4 large eggs
  • 1 cup frozen corn, thawed
  • 2 tablespoons sugar
  • Salt and pepper
  • ½ cup flour
  • Cooking spray
  • Unsalted butter, melted, for serving

Directions:

  1. In a medium bowl, combine the creamed corn, eggs, frozen corn and sugar; season with salt and pepper. Sprinkle in the flour gradually, whisking constantly to avoid lumps, until just combined.
  2. Spray a large nonstick skillet with cooking spray. Drop tablespoonfuls of the corn mixture into the pan to form small pancakes. Cook until lightly browned on both sides, about 2 minutes per side. Serve with the melted butter.
