CORN CAKES

CORN CAKES image

One pt. bread crumbs, 1 cup canned corn, or green corn left from a meal, 4 eggs, 1/2 teaspoon salt. Dash boiling water over crumbs to moisten slightly, stir in the eggs and add corn. Fry in hot lard; drop in by small spoonfuls. Do not turn over until set so they will turn easily when they will be a nice golden brown. Sour milk may be used instead of water by adding enough soda to sweeten the milk.
