CRACKLIN' CORN BREAD
Never will ferget butcherin' time. Ma wuld cut up thet hog hide wit' th' fat on it an' render th' fat by fryin' thet skin down to a crisp. Thet skin is what we mean by "cracklin's." Well, ma wuld save the cracklin's to eat plain or pit in corn bread.
1 1/2 c. corn meal
1/2 c. flour
2 t. baking powder
1/2 c. cracklin's
1/2 t. salt
1 egg beaten
1 1/2 c. milk
Sift together corn meal, flour, baking powder, and salt. In another bowl combine beaten egg, milk, and the cracklin's. Combine with dry ingredients, beat well, and pour into greased pan. Bake in a moderate oven until done. should be brown.
CORN FRITTERS
Here's a new wrinkle you might want to try 'bout corn pickin' time - if th' squirrels an' coons didn't git the crop.
12 ears sweet corn
2 eggs beaten separate
1 c. flour
1 t. baking powder
1/2 pint milk
Salt and pepper
Grate the ears of corn and rub it through a sieve to rid it of hulls. Combine corn with egg beaten separately, flour, baking powder, milk, and salt and pepper to taste. Mix well and drop by spoonfuls in hot deep fat. Turn and brown on both sides, take out and drain.

1 T. melted fat
Combine 2 c. corn meal and 1/2 t. each of salt and baking powder. Add 1 T. melted fat and stir in water to make a soft dough. Make into small cakes about half an inch thick and bake on a hot greased griddle until brown, and then turn to brown the other side.
