CORN OYSTERS (pictured)

Actually, these contain no oysters,
but were the poor man's substitute.

Preheat either hanging griddle over fire or long-handled griddle over coals. Grease with bacon fat if you have it, regular crisco if you don't. Chop corn coarsely. Beat egg yolks until thick and add to corn. Sift together flour, baking powder, salt and paprika and stir into corn. Beat egg whites until stiff and add to corn batter. Drop by spoonfuls onto hot griddle and cook until delicately brown about ten minutes but watch.  How fast they cook will depend on how far they are from fire or coals. Drain on paper towel if necessary.

Makes 10 and just fills the griddle, although picture above shows smaller ones.
