Fried Corn

By

Donna's Notes:
With your abundance of fresh corn this summer, try this old fashioned recipe.

  • 6

Ingredients

  • 6 -12 ears fresh corn, shucks and silks removed
  • 2 - 3 Tbsp bacon drippings or butter (bacon drippings is much better)
  • 2 - 3 tsp sugar
  • salt and pepper

Preparation

Step 1

Cut corn from cob with a corn cutter or a sharp knife (be careful of fingers).

It's better for it to be creamed style corn instead of whole kernel corn.

Scrape cob for the juice.

In a heavy iron skillet add bacon drippings.

When hot, add corn and cook 15-20 minutes, stirring often.

Depending on how "starchy" the corn is, it may become too thick, if so, you may add a bit of water for desired consistency.

Add salt, pepper and sugar.

**It is also good with some crumbled bacon in it, if you like.
