"We sang the songs that carried in their melodies
all the sounds of nature -- the running waters,
the sighing of winds, and the calls of the animals.
Teach these to your children that they may come
to love nature as we love it."

~ Grand Council Fire of American Indians

2 ears corn, cut from cob

1/2 cup whole wheat flour

14 minute Maple Fudge

4 cups maple syrup , 1 cup cream ,1/4 cup butter , 1 cup chopped nuts ,1 tsp lemon extract

 Starting cold, cook maple syrup, cream and butter together at a gentle boil for 9 minutes after boiling point is reached. Remove from heat, add nut meats and lemon, stir vigorously with wooden spoon for 5 minutes. Pour into buttered pans. When cool cut in squares.

CORN CAKES

 2cups S.R. flour , milk , corn kernels or creamed corn (or mixture of both)
small onion cut finely , freshly ground black pepper

Sift flour into mixing bowl , add corn , pepper and onion . Slowly pour milk into the dry ingredients and mix with a knife until a soft sticky dough is made . Turn this dough onto a floured board , sprinkle flour over the top and tear off small portions for individual corn cakes or place the entire dough ball onto a floured oven tray (the corn cakes look better if left unshaped ie: don't use a biscuit cutter etc.) Bake in a moderate to hot oven until golden brown and when tapped makes a hollowish sound. For the small corn cakes these can either be baked or cooked on a hot greased griddle plate . Can be eaten either hot or cold , my preference is to eat it straight after removing from the oven .

This recipe is very tasty and almost any ingredient you have on hand can be used for flavouring , ie try grated cheese , onion , fresh ground black pepper and bacon yummmy !
Parmesian cheese always adds a little something special no matter what flavourings you use .
I have used almost every imaginable ingredient to flavour this 'gourmet damper'
The only thing I suggest you dont use is left over spaghetti bolognaise ( not only does it look awful it doesn't taste crash hot either!)

There is no need for precise measuring of ingredients , as long as the finished dough seems light and sticky it will taste delicious.

You can make this recipe using only self raising flour blended with milk and cream , (adding cream to the dough makes it even lighter) remember to stir the liquid into the flour with a knife , try not to handle dough too much and cook it in a hot oven , the end result will be a lovely soft inside and gorgeous crusty outside. When cooked either tear off pieces or cut slices smear with jam and add a dollop of whipped cream ~ HEAVEN !!
