Are made in this way. Mix with a pint of grated green corn, three tablepoonsfiils of milk, two or three beaten eggs and a lieaping spoonful of flour. They are not as nice with too much flour. Season lightly with pepper and salt. Drop it by dessert spoonfuls into a little hot butter on a griddle. Brown on both sides and serve on a hot platter. They have much the flavor of fried oysters.
