1 c. bacon fat & 1 c. corn oil
or 2 c. corn oil
1 green onion minced
1 c. self-rising flour
1/4 of self-rising cornmeal
1/2 tsp. salt
1 egg, slightly beaten
Kernels from 1 ear fresh corn
1/2 pt. oysters, drained
Recipe
Heat fat and oil in a 2-quart saucepan to 375 degrees. Chop drained oysters and combine with flour, cornmeal, salt, egg, corn and green onion. Stir until just mixed. You should be able to form a moist, sticky ball using 2 spoons; if too thin add more flour, if too thick add water. Drop by rounded tablespoonfuls into hot oil and cook until golden brown. Drain on paper towels. Makes 20 to 24 fritters
