1 15-ounce can pumpkin puree

Vegetable or canola oil for frying

1 ½ teaspoons salt

2/3 cup whole milk

candy thermometer

paper towels

Cooking instruction summary:

On a cutting board, remove corn kernels from cob and set aside.In a medium bowl, beat eggs and add milk, buttermilk and pumpkin puree and whip until smooth.With a wooden spoon, stir in corn.In a separate bowl sift flour, cornmeal, baking powder and salt to combine.With wooden spoon, stir dry into wet.Heat a cast iron skillet or other heavy bottomed pan and fill to one inch with the oil. Heat to 325 degrees. Heating the oil to the correct temperature and keeping it there is crucial. If the heat is too high, the fritters will get too dark before the inside is cooked and if the heat is too low, the fritters will absorb some of the oil and be greasy. I used a candy thermometer to maintain the correct heat.Cooking in batches, with a small one ounce scoop, scoop batter into hot oil pressing each one down as you go with the back of the scoop. Because of the pumpkin puree, the batter is dense and needs to be flattened out a bit to cook evenly. Cook for a total of five minutes flipping a few times to brown evenly.Remove to paper towels to drain.Serve with optional powdered sugar and pure maple syrup.

Food Joke

One Sunday morning George burst into the living room and said, "Dad! Mom! I have some great news for you! I am getting married to the most beautiful girl in town. She lives a block away and her name is Susan. After dinner, George's dad took him aside, "Son, I have to talk with you. Look at your mother, George. She and I have been married 30 years, she's a wonderful wife and mother, but, she has never offered much excitement in the bedroom, so I used to fool around with women a lot." "Susan is actually your half sister, and I'm afraid you can't marry her." George was brokenhearted. After eight months he eventually started dating girls again. A year later he came home and very proudly announced, "Diane said yes! We're getting married in June." Again his father insisted on another private conversation and broke the sad news. "Diane is your half sister too, George." "I'm awfully sorry about this." George was livid! He finally decided to go to his mother with the news his father had shared. "Dad has done so much harm. I guess I'm never going to get married," he complained. "Every time I fall in love, Dad tells me the girl is my half sister." "Hee hee," his mother chuckled, shaking her head, "Don't pay any attention to what he says. He's not really your father."
