Corn Oysters

"These are excellent with maple syrup! Good for brunch or as an appetizer. A bit different than corn fritters... there is no leavening and these are not deep fried but pan fried in a bit of butter."

  1. Delightful and fun recipe. Easy to make and went very well with dinner. The maple syrup was perfect.
     
  2. Delicious, easy to make, I first made Corn Oysters over 55 years ago. Hadn't made them in years. I don't remember where I got the recipe or if it was like this one. These are so good and will be making them again. DH really likes them.
     
  3. I didn't fry in butter. Used a non stick frying pan. Very tasty.

  4. This is a family favorite. I use frozen corn (supersweet white) straight from the bag. After frying a few at a time, I hold them in a hot oven on a cookie sheet. They lose a little crispness this way, but it's the best I can do. I always have to make a lot of these because there never seem to be enough. Simple, homey and delicious, and a great compliment to almost any meal.

Zaar...Wow, what a place! I'm one of the old timers of Zaar. I can't count the number of wonderful dishes I cooked in the past few years since joining. Along the way I have had the pleasure of meeting several Zaar chefs. Talk about your fruits and nuts! lol. I have enjoyed meeting them all. Family: What's to say...I have had the same sweet husband forever (Good thing....I'd hate to have to break a new one in...=) and live close to a couple of grown children. (Maybe you've met Smoke Alarm Jr. ..her brown rolls are sooo good!) Therefore, my family gets together often to enjoy each other's company and cooking. My greatest joy is six "little to tallerthanme" kids running around calling me Grammy. They wear me out! lol For the past thirty years I have been a Special Education teacher for grades 9-12 and love it. Took some time off last year to recovery from surgery, chemotherapy and radiation for breast cancer. (Loved the radiation....I keep imagining that we are absolutely napalming the nasty cancer cells tohellandback to keep the little suckers from returning. =) My prognosis is good and now "I'm back in the saddle again". lol. Being a north country "gurl", I am happiest outside...walking, fishing, sitting in front of an outdoor fire or being on water (although in February it's a bit stiff....=0) When indoors I like to read, garden, knit, quilt and paint. During cold Maine weather I like to warm my feet on a very large ( 100 pounds of long legs and huge feet), sweet and furry golden retriever named Kerry (aka KTBRD: Kerry the big red dawg..lol) . In the summer, the dawg and I round up the grandkids, hit the local dairy bar for a Mounds Sundae that is to die for!!!=0) . Then spend a lot of long and lazy summer days at camp . All in all...Boy, Life is good! =)
