Ingredients

• 1 cup flour
• 1 cup cornmeal
• 1 tablespoon diced shallot
• 2 tablespoons finely chopped bacon
• 1 1/2 teaspoon chipped parsley
• 1/4 cup corn, fresh, frozen, or canned
• 1 1/4 teaspoons baking powder
• 2 teaspoons sugar
• 1 1/2 teaspoon fine/table salt
• 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
• 1 egg
• 1 cup milk
• Oil or shortening, for frying

Directions

1. Preheat oil to a steady 350 degrees.
2. In a large mixing bowl, combine all ingredients but egg, milk, and oil.
3. In a separate, small bowl, combine the egg and milk and beat until a light yellow color.
4. Just before frying, add wet to dry ingredients and mix well.
5. Using a small spoon, scoop out about a tablespoon of dough and fry in the oil until golden brown on all sides, about 3 to 4 minutes, turning once to ensure even browning.
6. Remove from oil and drain on paper towels.
7. Serve warm, drizzled with butter or maple syrup, or tossed in Cajun seasoning.
