--------  ------------  --------------------------------

   3                    bacon slices

   3      ears          corn

   1      large         egg

   3      tablespoons   all-purpose flour

   5 1/2  tablespoons   sugar

   1      teaspoon      baking powder

     1/2  teaspoon      salt

                        freshly ground black pepper to taste


In a heavy skillet cook bacon over moderately low heat until crisp.
Transfer bacon to paper towels to drain and reserve bacon fat in a
heatproof bowl. Crumble bacon.


Working in a large bowl and using the largest holes of a 4-sided grater,
grate corn until you have about 1/2 cup. Lightly beat egg and add to
corn. Stir in flour, sugar, baking powder, salt, and pepper until
combined well.


In skillet heat 1 tablespoon reserved bacon fat over moderate heat.
Working in 2 batches, form fritters by dropping 1/8-cup measures of
batter for each into skillet and cook until golden brown, 1 to 2 minutes
on each side. Serve fritters warm with bacon and syrup or tomatoes. Makes
about 6 fritters, serving 2 or 3 as a side dish.

Although these are called fritters, they more closely resemble pancakes.
Accompaniment: pure maple syrup or sliced tomatoes
