Ingredients

• 1  tablespoon butter
• 2  cups fresh corn kernels
• 1/4  cup chopped green pepper
• 1/4  cup chopped onion
• 1/4  cup all-purpose flour
• 1/2  teaspoon baking powder
• 1/2  teaspoon salt
• 1/4  teaspoon pepper
• 2  beaten eggs
• 2  tablespoons milk
• 2  dashes bottled hot pepper sauce
• 2  to 3 tablespoons cooking oil

Directions

1. In a medium saucepan, melt butter. Add corn, green pepper, and onion. Cook, covered, for 8 minutes, stirring occasionally. Cool slightly.

2. In a mixing bowl combine flour, baking powder, salt, and pepper. Add eggs, milk, and hot pepper sauce. Mix well. Stir in slightly cooled vegetable mixture.

3. In a large skillet, heat cooking oil over medium heat. Drop corn mixture by heaping tablespoonfuls, 4 or 5 at a time, into hot oil. Flatten slightly with the back of a spoon. Cook about 4 minutes or until brown, turning once. (If fritters brown too quickly, reduce heat.) Drain on paper towels. Serve warm with meat or poultry. Makes twelve 3-1/2-inch fritters (6 servings).
