1 cup corn (frozen is fine)
1 separated egg
2 tablespoons flour
2-4 tablespoons butter
2-4 tablespoons olive oil or bacon fat (although duck fat is particularly nice)
Salt and pepper

Combine corn, egg yolk, and flour in bowl, mix well, and add salt and pepper. Beat the egg white into stiff peaks, fold carefully into the corn mix. Heat 2 tablespoons butter with 2 tablespoons oil or fat in skillet. When almost smoking, drop small spoonfuls of corn mix in pan, fry until crisp and brown on each side. Serve hot.
