Directions
Cut corn kernels from cob and measure ½ cup. In a small bowl, combine flour, baking powder, sugar, and salt. Set aside.
In a medium bowl stir boiling water into cornmeal to make a stiff mush. Stir in milk until smooth. Stir in corn, egg and the 1-tablespoon chives. Add flour mixture to corn mixture and stir just until combined. In a large skillet heat 2 tablespoons of the oil over medium heat. Drop batter by rounded tablespoons into 2 tablespoons of hot oil. Cook for 3 to 4 minutes or until golden brown, turning once. Transfer to a serving platter; cover and keep warm. Add the remaining oil and repeat with remaining batter. |
