Nutrition Facts :

Tips:

  • Use fresh corn. Fresh corn on the cob is best for making corn fritters, as it has the most flavor and sweetness. If you don't have fresh corn, you can use frozen or canned corn, but the flavor will be less intense.
  • Don't overmix the batter. Overmixing the batter will make the fritters tough. Mix the batter just until the ingredients are combined.
  • Fry the fritters in hot oil. The oil should be hot enough to sizzle when you drop the batter in. This will help the fritters cook evenly and prevent them from sticking to the pan.
  • Don't overcrowd the pan. When frying the fritters, don't overcrowd the pan. This will prevent them from cooking evenly and becoming soggy.
  • Serve the fritters hot. Corn fritters are best served hot, straight from the fryer. You can serve them with butter, syrup, honey, or your favorite dipping sauce.

Conclusion:

Corn fritters are a delicious and easy-to-make side dish or snack. They're perfect for using up leftover corn on the cob, and they're also a great way to get your kids to eat their vegetables. With just a few simple ingredients and a little bit of time, you can make a batch of corn fritters that everyone will love.
