Creatures are not born with desires unless satisfaction for those desires exists. A baby feels hunger: well, there is such a thing as food. A duckling wants to swim: well, there is such a thing as water…. If I find in myself a desire which no experience in this world can satisfy, the most probable explanation is that I was made for another world. If none of my earthly pleasures satisfy it, that does not prove that the universe is a fraud. Probably, earthly pleasures were never meant to satisfy it, but only to arouse it, to suggest the real thing.

INGREDIENTS

2	lg	EGGS
1/4	c	MILK
1/4	c	WATER
1	tb	BUTTER, melted
16	oz	Can WHOLE KERNEL CORN, drained (I use the drained juices instead of the water or add water to the juice to make 1/4 cup)
2	c	ALL-PURPOSE FLOUR
2	ts	BAKING POWDER
3/4	ts	SALT
1/4	ts	BLACK PEPPER, freshly ground
1	tb	GRANULATED SUGAR
		VEGETABLE OIL (for frying)
		CONFECTIONERS' SUGAR & MAPLE SYRUP

INSTRUCTIONS

* Instead of canned corn, 2 cups fresh or frozen corn can be substituted.
The original recipe does call for canned corn, as fritters were considered
a winter dish. And this recipe is much older than frozen technology.
In a mixing bowl, beat the eggs until light. Add the milk (or corn liquid
mixed with water), and butter; blend. Stir in the corn and mix thoroughly.
Add the dry ingredients and mix just until moistened.
Heat 2 inches of oil in an electric skillet or deep-fryer to 350-degreesF.
Drop the batter into the oil by tablespoonfuls and fry 2 to 3 minutes on
each side or until nicely browned. Drain on paper towel and sprinkle with
powdered sugar. Serve with maple syrup.
