Simple corn fritters as prepared in the American home kitchen of the 1920s.

Ingredients

• ½ cup canned corn
• 1 egg
• ¼ teaspoon salt
• ½ cup flour
• ½ teaspoon baking-powder
• 2 tablespoons milk
• ½ cup fat for frying

Method

1. Stir — the corn and milk together in a mixing-bowl, and sift the flour, salt, and baking-powder into this.
2. Beat — the egg in a small bowl, add it to the materials in the mixing-bowl, and stir well together.
3. Melt — the fat in the frying-pan, and put the mixture into this (when the fat begins to smoke), a separate spoonful at a time. Turn the fritters frequently while frying, so that they will brown on all sides.
4. Drain — the fritters on soft crumpled paper in a colander.
