Ingredients
1 1/4 cups unsifted all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
2 large eggs, lightly beaten
1/4 cup milk
1 1/2 cups fresh yellow corn kernels

Directions
- Combine flour, baking powder, and salt in medium bowl. Stir in eggs and milk just until flour mixture has all been moistened. Mixture should be lumpy. Fold in corn. Melt 1 teaspoon shortening in a large skillet over medium heat.

Repeat until all batter has been used, adding shortening as needed. Serve with honey or syrup, if desired.
