Old Fashioned Fried Corn

Fried corn is a traditional southern food but you don't have to be a southerner to love it. This recipe uses fresh corn that is mixed into a batter and fried in bacon grease (of course!). This is also a great way to use fresh corn that is past its peak flavor.

ingredients
5 ears corn
1 1/2 teaspoon salt, or to taste
1 teaspoon black pepper
1/2 cup flour
1 cup water
1/4 cup bacon drippings
4 tablespoons butter or margarine, cut in pieces
directions
Using a sharp knife, cut the corn off the cob, about half the thickness of the kernel. Then, using the dull side of the knife, scrape the cob to get the remaining kernels.
Place the corn in a bowl and add the salt, pepper, and flour. Stir to coat the corn with the flour. Stir in the water slowly until all is blended (you can add more water if needed as the corn cooks if it looks too thick).
Heat the bacon drippings in a heavy skillet (cast iron works well) over medium heat. Pour the corn into the hot drippings and stir constantly. While you are stirring, add the butter. Continue to stir and cook on medium heat until the corn bubbles.
Reduce the heat to low. Let the mixture cook for 30 minutes, stirring often, until a crust begins to form around the edges and bottom of the skillet. Serve hot.

Ranking #1 in nearly every "favorite cookie" poll, the chocolate chip cookie is pretty much the go-to cookie of choice for both kids and grownups alike.
The name, vodka, comes from the Russian phrase zhiznennaia voda, or "water of life". It can be made from everything from potatoes to beets. It's considered to be fairly flavorless which makes it a great liquor for mixed drinks.

I made this last night and it turned out great. I made a couple of adjustments for my own preference in flavor because i doubled the recipe. I still only used 1/2 cup of flour, 1 cup chicken broth and 1 cup heavy cream instead of two cups of water.
Thanks for evoking memories of my grandmother always making fried corn. She now has Alzheimerâs. I miss so much about her (including the opportunity to get many of her old recipes).

So good. So not healthy but who cares, sometimes you just have to indulge a little!

This tastes pretty close to what my Gramgram (great grandma) used to make for us. Brings back memories!

This was just like my mother and grandmother made...it's the first recipe that was perfect...I did however substitute corn starch for the flour and the flavor is much better....not a morsel left over. My husband and I enjoyed it so much we are having it again tonight.

I am in my late 50s. When I was little my Grandmother made this delicious corn in the skillet every summer. I wanted to make her corn and this recipe was it! I loved the corn and the memories it brought me of her big country kitchen and all it's wonderful smells!

As a Southern Girl, this is your basic true blue fried corn. Love the bacon, onion, corn flavor. I had 9 ears of old corn that was going to be thrown out & since I can't stand waste, fried it up. Of course, the fresher, the better. But your old Granny would've done the same thing.

Great simple recipe. I am a "corn lover" but have limited cooking skills. This was a hit with me. To reduce the saltiness, I skipped the salt b/c my butter already had plenty of it.
