Grandma And Grandpa Hansons Corn And Oysters Recipes

Steps:

• 1. Preheat oven to 350°. Lightly butter a large rectangular baking pan. Heat 2 tablespoons of the butter in a large skillet over medium-low heat. Sauté onions and celery in the butter until tender; remove from heat an add a small pinch of cayenne and let cool.
• 2. Combine cornbread and breadcrumbs in a large bowl; gently fold in sautéed onions, salt, pepper, and parsley. Add beaten eggs and toss more; moisten with the reserved oyster liquid until moist but not soggy. Gently stir in the oysters.
• 3. Pat the mixture into the prepared baking pan (it should make a 1-inch layer in the pan). Dot with remaining butter and bake about 45 minutes, until golden brown and set in the center.

Steps:

• Put the frozen corn in a colander. Rinse it until the ice crystals melt.
• Pour the corn into a bowl.
• Stir in the milk, flour or corn meal, salt, and pepper.
• Lay paper towels on top of a plate and set it aside.
• Set a skillet over medium-high heat on the stove.
• Heat the butter and oil in the skillet until the butter is melted.
• Put tablespoon-fulls of batter in the hot skillet.
• Cook until golden-brown. Repeat with the other side.
• Drain the oysters on the paper towels and cover with foil to keep them warm.
• Repeat with the others and serve hot.

Steps:

• Mix all ingredients together.
• Spoon into hot oil in skillet.
• Fry till browned on both sides.
• Serve with lots of butter.

Steps:

• Holding the base of an ear of corn in a medium bowl, slice downward, cutting halfway through the kernels. Using the back of the knife or a small spoon, scrape downward along the cob to extract the milk, letting it fall into the bowl with the cut kernels. Cut again along the cob, this time cutting close enough to remove the remaining half of the kernels. Repeat with the remaining ears.
• In a small bowl, whisk the egg yolks until pale and slightly thickened, about 2 minutes. Then add the yolks to the corn. Stir in the heavy cream and jalapeno.
• Stir the flour, baking powder, salt, cayenne, and sugar together in a bowl. Then stir the flour mixture into the corn mixture until just combined. Do not overmix.
• Beat the egg whites until medium to stiff peaks form. Fold the whites into the corn mixture until thoroughly combined.
• Fill a heavy-bottomed Dutch oven or a deep iron skillet halfway with vegetable oil (so it is 2 to 4 inches deep). Heat the oil over medium-high heat until it reaches 350 degrees.
• When the oil is hot, carefully add 2-tablespoon scoops of the corn mixture, working in batches and being careful not to overcrowd the pan. (While they are cooking, the fritters may spatter hot oil, so be careful; a splatter screen may come in handy.) Fry the fritters for 6 minutes, or until they are golden and cooked through, turning them as needed for even color. Remove, and drain on a paper towel-lined plate. Season with the Essence, and serve immediately.

Steps:

• Combine corn, eggs, milk, butter, salt and pepper to taste, if using.
• Add flour gradually, just enough to hold mixture together.
• Amount of flour depends on size of eggs (and weather according to my grandma!).
• Heat 1/2 inch of oil in frying pan.
• Form patties whatever size you'd like, I do small ones so my kids can hold them.
• Fry in hot oil until golden brown.
• Serve as side dish OR if you left out the salt and pepper serve with syrup on the side.
• You can also dust with powdered sugar.

Steps:

• Stir butter and garlic in stockpot over medium heat until butter begins to brown. Remove garlic and discard.
• Stir shallots into browned butter. Cook and stir until translucent, 5 to 7 minutes.
• Pour sherry over shallots in the stockpot and bring to a boil while scraping any browned bits off of the bottom of the pot. Simmer until liquid is reduced by half, 3 to 5 minutes.
• Pour reserved oyster liquor, milk, and cream into the stockpot; bring mixture to a simmer. Reduce heat to medium-low and stir in oysters; cook until oyster edges begin to ruffle, about 3 minutes. Remove from heat.
• Stir in parsley; season with sea salt to taste. Ladle into bowls and garnish with sweet paprika and oyster crackers.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 325 degrees.
• Butter a 1 1/2 qt baking dish.
• Mix butter, flour, sugar and salt with fork in a large bowl until blended.
• Add the eggs and beat well.
• Stir in corn and milk.
• Stir in oysters.
• Pour into dish and bake for 20 minutes.
• Stir again and continue baking until golden and an inserted knife comes out clean.
• Enjoy!
