Fresh Corn Patties
1 egg large,
separated
1 cup corn cut from cob and drained (about 2 ears)*
1/4 cup flour
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon baking powder
dash black pepper
2 tablespoons margarine or vegetable oil
powdered sugar (optional)
sour cream Dairy (optional)
Chopped fresh dill or chili powder (optional)
In a small bowl, beat egg white until stiff; set aside.
In a medium bowl, beat egg yolk. Add corn, flour, salt, baking powder, and
pepper. Stir until blended (mixture will be thick). Fold in egg white.
In a non-stick skillet over medium heat, melt margarine. Drop corn mixture into
skillet by heaping tablespoonfuls, forming patties. Cook until lightly browned,
about 2 minutes on each side, turning once. Drain on paper towels; keep warm.
Serve immediately with a sprinkle of powdered sugar or a mixture of sour cream
and dill or chili powder to taste. Serve as a side dish with baked ham, pork
chops, or cold chicken.
*If corn kernels are large, chop coarsely.
