12 Hard clams,large cherrystone size, with their juice; or manos
1/4 ts Pepper
1/4 c Evaporated milk
4 tb Self-rising flour or pancake mix

Place the clams and juice in a blender, or food processor. Using a quick on-and-off method, blend clams until just minced. (They should not be pureed.) Pour minced clams into a bowl; add pepper, evaporated milk, flour, and egg and mix well. Heat the frying pan to about 375 degrees and grease lightly with oil. For each fritter scoop out one teaspoonful of the mixture onto the hot frying pan. When just golden brown, turn with a spatula and lightly brown other side. Keep greasing frying pan as needed.
