Heat a generous amount of butter or bacon grease in a cast-iron skillet over medium-high heat. Place the slices in the pan, making sure not to crowd them. The Golden Rule: Do not touch them for at least 5 minutes. They need time to develop that hard, brown crust. Once they release easily from the pan, flip and fry the other side until both are shattering-crisp.
Serving Suggestions
While these are incredible savory, the classic way to enjoy them is with a drizzle of maple syrup, honey, or a dusting of cinnamon sugar. The contrast between the salty, fried corn and the sweet syrup is what makes this a legendary breakfast.
