Ingredients

• 1 cup, fresh or frozen and thawed Corn kernels
• 4 slices, cooked until crisp and crumbled Bacon
• 1/2 cup All-purpose flour
• 1 tsp Baking powder
• 1/2 tsp Salt
• 1/4 tsp Black pepper
• 1 large, beaten Egg
• 1/4 cup Milk
• 1 tbsp Maple syrup
• 2 tbsp Butter

Instructions

1. Step 1: In a large bowl, combine 1 cup corn kernels, 4 slices cooked and crumbled bacon, 1/2 cup all-purpose flour, 1 tsp baking powder, 1/2 tsp salt, and 1/4 tsp black pepper. Make a well in the center and add 1 beaten egg and 1/4 cup milk. Stir gently until just combined, avoiding overmixing.

4. Step 4: Flip fritters and cook for 3 more minutes on the second side until golden brown and cooked through.
5. Step 5: Transfer fritters to a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil. Drizzle with 1 tbsp maple syrup just before serving.
