  Amount  Measure       Ingredient -- Preparation Method
--------  ------------  --------------------------------
  2               cans  Whole kernel sweet corn -- minced
  1              bunch  Scallions -- sliced in thin rings
  1                     Egg
     1/2      teaspoon  Saffron threads
  1         tablespoon  Hot water
  1           teaspoon  Sugar
     1/3           cup  All purpose flour
                        Salt and pepper
     1/4           cup  Safflower oil

Preparation:

These are called corn patties in Vietnam and are not flavored with saffron. I always liked this recipe and since the Pennsylvania Dutch are famous for putting saffron in their corn chowders, I thought, why not? Steep threads in hot water for 20 minutes. Combine all ingredients and form hamburger-sized flat patties. Coat heavy skillet with oil and when hot, but not smoky, begin frying patties. Brown on both sides and serve immediately.
