Grandma And Grandpa Hansons Corn And Oysters Recipes

Steps:

• 1. Wash and chop potatoes into desired bite size, cover with water in pot, boil on high until rolling boil then reduce heat. Cook 12-15 min or until tender.
• 2. Chop onion/celery and saute in a little butter until clear and tender.
• 3. After potatoes are done, drain and add sauteed onions/celery to pot and add rest of the butter
• 4. add milk (If you like lots of good tastiness add some cream too) and other seasonings to taste (the taste will be stronger the longer you wait before adding the oysters and serving).
• 5. Add oyster liqour, but NOT oysters.
• 6. Keep stirring, this is your stew and the longer it stews the better it tastes. If you are serving sooner, keep stirring so it will not settle. If you are serving later (up to 24 hrs.) put stew in fridge.
• 7. When ready to serve: heat up stew if it's cold, add oysters, and wait until oysters are soft and cooked to serve.
• 8. Optional toppings to add after stew is in individual bowls: grated cheddar, oyster crackers, crushed up potato chips, more seasoning, or whatever you think tastes good.

Steps:

• Preheat oil to 375 degrees.
• Slice kernels off corn and remove any lingering silk. Place kernels in medium bowl.
• Add 4 tablespoons flour, yolks, salt, pepper and maple sugar. Knead the mixture through your fingers, bruising the kernels. This will release the corn's ''milk'' and help prevent small explosions when frying. The final consistency should be that of loose oatmeal. If it is too loose, add more flour.
• Beat egg whites and carefully fold into mixture.
• Drop mixture by tablespoonfuls (slide off spoon with your finger) into the hot fat. Cook 2 minutes on each side; drain thoroughly and serve with spicy tartar sauce (see recipe).

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:

• 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!

Steps:

• Grate the kernals from the cob into a medium bowl using the large holes of a box grater. Using the back of a knife, scrape any pulp remaining on the cobs into the bowl with the grated corn. Stir in the flour, cornstarch, eggs, salt, and remaining baking powder until well blended.
• Heat the oil in a Dutch oven over medium heat until it registers 350 degrees. Carefully drop 13 to 15 heaping T of batter into the hot oil and fry, turning once, until the corn oysters puff and are golden brown on both sides, about 2 minutes. Transfer to a paper-towel-lined plate. Add more oil to the pot if necessary and heat to 350 degrees. Repeat with remaining batter. Sprinkle the corn oysters with salt. Serve immediately.
• NOTE FROM TEST KITCHEN: Use only fresh corn for this recipe-frozen corn is too dry to produce a creamy batter. Be sure to keep temperature at 350, too low and the oysters become sodden with oil, too high and they become too dark before they are done.

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:

• 1. Combine ingredients in order given: corn, cracker crumbs, eggs, salt, milk, black pepper, sugar, butter and oysters.
• 2. Bake the mixture in a greased 1 1/2 quart baking dish at 375 degrees for 25 minutes.
• 3. Do not over bake or oysters will become tough.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 375 degrees.
• Butter a casserole dish.
• Combine the ingredients in the order listed.
• Pour into prepared casserole dish.
• Bake for 35 minutes.
• Serve hot.

Steps:

• In a casserole dish layer 1 can drained corn, then half the oysters(chopped or left whole), then half the crackers, coarsely crumbled, then dot with butter, and sprinkle on salt and pepper. Layer again. Optional sprinkle with parmesan cheese. Beat together 2 eggs and about a cup of milk (optional flavoring- add Worcestershire sauce)and pour it all over. Using a knife to put through the layers to be sure that the milk and eggs go down through the bottom layer. If needed, add more eggs and milk as the milk mixture needs to cover up to the top of the crackers. Bake at 350 for an hour. If made ahead of time and refrigerated, reheat for at least 20-25 minutes.
