Categories     Breads

Time 45m

Yield 9 fritters

Number Of Ingredients 7

15 ounces corn (drain and reserve juice)
2 medium eggs
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 cup flour
1 teaspoon baking powder
1 teaspoon sugar
bacon grease (for frying) or margarine (for frying)

Steps:

  • Drain the liquid from the the canned corn. Measure 1/4 cup of it, and discard the rest.
  • In a medium sized bowl combine the corn juice you've just measured and the eggs.
  • Use a whisk to beat them smooth.
  • Add the salt, flour, baking powder and sugar. Mix really well, until there are no lumps.
  • Add the drained corn and mix again.
  • Heat about 2 tablespoons of bacon grease or margarine in a large iron skillet over medium high heat.
  • When the fat is hot, it's time to drop in the fritters. I drop about 1/4 of a cup of batter for each fritter, cooking about 3 or 4 together in the same pan. Fry them just like pancakes, turning them, after the under side is crispy brown. They cook a little slower than pancakes, because they are thicker.
  • After they have browned on both sides, transfer them to a plate to keep warm.
  • Add more fat to the pan as necessary.
  • This recipe makes about 8 or 9 fritters. I usually double it because they are so popular.
  • I serve the fritters with applesauce, or Pancake Syrup or just plain with more margarine for the kids. They can take the place of both starch and bread in a meal. For lunch, or a light supper, make Scalloped Tomatoes, Corn Fritters, and serve fruit and yogurt for dessert. Delicious!

CORN FRITTERS SOUTHERN STYLE



CORN FRITTERS SOUTHERN STYLE image

Categories     Corn     Fry

Number Of Ingredients 5

6 ears freshly shucked corn
4 eggs
1/2 cup all-purpose flour
1/2 teaspoon salt
2 cups (for frying) vegetable oil

Steps:

  • Remove all silk from corn and cut raw corn from the cob over a large bowl. Scrape the juice from the cobs into the bowl as well. Discard cobs. Stir in the eggs, flour and salt to form a batter the consistency of thin pancake batter.
  • Heat oil in an electric skillet to 325 degrees F (165 degrees C). If using a large skillet on the stove, preheat oil to medium high heat. There should be enough oil in the pan to cover the fritter.
  • Use a large serving spoon to make 4 pancake sized fritters at the same time. Fry for about 5 minutes on each side or until golden brown.
  • Drain on paper towels and serve warm.

Tips:

  • Use fresh corn: Fresh corn gives the fritters a sweeter, more flavorful taste compared to frozen or canned corn.
  • Don't overmix the batter: Overmixing the batter can make the fritters tough. Mix just until the ingredients are combined.
  • Use a hot skillet: A hot skillet will help the fritters cook evenly and prevent them from sticking.
  • Don't crowd the skillet: If you crowd the skillet, the fritters won't cook evenly.
  • Serve the fritters hot: Southern corn fritters are best served hot out of the skillet. You can serve them with butter, syrup, or your favorite dipping sauce.

Conclusion:

Southern corn fritters are a delicious and easy-to-make side dish that is perfect for any occasion. They are a great way to use up fresh corn, and they are also a crowd-pleaser. So next time you're looking for a tasty and satisfying side dish, give southern corn fritters a try. You won't be disappointed!
