HOMEMADE BUTTER CRUNCH POPCORN

This is an old recipe from my childhood.

1/4 cup butter
1/2 cup corn syrup
3/4 cup sugar
4 cups popped corn
1 cup unsalted peanuts

In a 2-quart heavy-duty saucepan, combine butter, syrup, and sugar. Cook mixture, stirring occasionally, until it comes to a boil. Reduce the high slightly and continue cooking to 260 degrees on a candy thermometer. Put popcorn and nuts in a large glass bowl and stir to mix well. Pour candy mixture over popcorn and nuts; mix well. Butter hands and form mixture into small bite-sized balls.

CORN FRITTERS

This recipe is a clipping from a very old Bedford, Indiana newspaper. It was submitted to the newspaper by N. Hill of Medora, Indiana.

6 ears corn, cut from the cob
1 egg, well beaten
2 tsps sugar
1 tbsp butter, melted
1/2 cup milk
1/2 cup flour
1 tsp salt

Combine egg, sugar, butter, milk, flour and salt. Mix to combine well. Add the cut corn and mix until well blended. Drop by tablespoonful into hot shortening or oil. Fry 2 or 3 minutes or until golden brown. Drain on absorbent paper towels before serving.

The following is just a file photo from the internet. I do not have an actual picture of this recipe.
