Corn Fritters

A favorite summer breakfast. Light and tender, the flavor of these fritters is heightened by the addition of grated fresh corn and crumbled bacon.

Ingredients

5 bacon slices

4-5 ears of fresh corn

2 eggs

3 tablespoons GOLDEN BLOSSOM HONEY

6 tablespoons flour

2 teaspoons baking powder

1 teaspoon salt

dash of black pepper

Topping:

1/3 cup GOLDEN BLOSSOM HONEY, warmed

Honey Tips

Honey Bees Need Water

To keep their hives strong, beekeepers must place them in locations that will provide abundant nectar sources as well as water.

Directions

Cook bacon in a large skillet until crisp. Remove to paper towels to drain. Pour bacon fat from skillet into a heatproof bowl. Crumble bacon.
In a large bowl, using the largest hole on a grater, grate corn from cob until you have about 1 cup. In a separate bowl lightly beat eggs and 3 tablespoons honey. Add to grated corn. Stir in flour, baking powder, salt and pepper until combined. Mix in crumbled bacon.
Heat 1 tablespoon of bacon fat in a large skillet. Once hot, form fritters by dropping 1/8- cup measures of batter into pan. Cook until golden brown, a few minutes per side. You may have to do this in batches. Add more bacon fat to pan if necessary.
Serve immediately. Pass warmed honey to drizzle over fritters.
Yields: approximately 16 fritters
