OLD-FASHIONED CORN FRITTERS
Makes 4 to 6 servings

2 cups (about 3 large ears) corn kernels
3 eggs
1/4 cup all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon sugar
1/4 cup melted butter or margarine, divided use
Salt (to taste)
1/4 cup salad oil (for frying)
Maple syrup (for serving)

Cut fresh corn from the cob with a sharp knife. One large ear (12-ounces unhusked) yields about 3/4 cup kernels.

Beat the eggs, corn, flour, sugar and 1 tablespoon melted butter together with a fork until blended. Add salt to taste.

Pour 1 1/2 tablespoons of the butter and 2 tablespoons of the oil into a 10- to 12-inch frying pan on medium-high heat. When fat is hot, make each fritter by dropping 1 1/2 level tablespoons of the batter into the pan; make as many fritters as the pan will hold without crowding. Cook fritters until bottoms are well browned and tops look slightly dry, about 3 minutes. Turn with a spatula and cook until the down side is well browned, 2 to 3 minutes longer; lift from pan and keep warm. Heat remaining butter and oil in pan and cook the rest of the fritters.

Serve hot with Syrup.
