It makes good fried corn if you like that. Then there is corn and black bean salsa. The peppers and tomatoes compensate for the starchy flavor.

My personal favorite though is the corn fritters the wife makes out of older corn that aged too long. Make a bunch of them up and take them into work with a jar of honey. They already count on you for great treats. :)

Corn fritters sounds good!

What is her recipe?

Or is that a secret?

I didn't get to finish all of it last night, due to spending over an hour on the phone with a warranty person. I had a lightning strike on my electronics Saturday. They are supposedly on the left coast, but she had a funny accent. When I gave her my e-mail address and said @juno.com She spelled it yuno! ;)

Old Betty Crocker recipe for Corn Fritters

1/3 c corn meal
2/3 c AP flour
1/2 c milk
1 t baking powder
1 t salt
1 t vegetable oil
2 eggs
1 to 1 1/2 c fresh corn (drained if needed)
1 T sugar (optional for sweeter fritters)

Mix all ingredients, Let sit for 5-10 min. inactive to rise. Drop by T full into deep fryer or 2-3 inches hot oil (375) in pot and fry for approx. 5 mins or until nicely browned. Remove from the oil and drain on screen or cake rack.

If you like funnel cakes at the fair you can also sprinkle these with powdered sugar or drizzle with honey or syrup. In place of corn try diced cooked shrimp or ham, diced apples, diced pineapple, or diced bananas.

edited to add that if you sub beer for the milk it makes a great fish fry batter too.
