CORN FRITTERS

Steps:

• In a large bowl, stir together flour, cornmeal, sugar, baking powder, 1 1/2 teaspoons salt, and cayenne. Add milk and egg to flour mixture and stir together to create a batter. Add corn and fold to combine.
• Heat 4 inches oil in a large heavy-bottomed pot or Dutch oven over high heat until a deep-fry thermometer reaches 375 degrees. Working in batches, using a small ice cream scoop or two spoons, drop batter by the tablespoon into the oil. Cook, turning occasionally, until cooked through and deep-golden brown, 1 to 2 minutes; adjust heat as needed to keep oil temperature between 350 and 360 degrees. Transfer fritters to a paper-towel-lined baking sheet. Season to taste with salt, and serve immediately with honey.

EASY SOUTHERN CORN FRITTERS

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!

SWEET CORN FRITTERS

Steps:

• Gather the ingredients.
• Using a sharp knife over a large bowl, carefully shave the corn kernels off the cob into the bowl. With the back of the knife, scrape the milky juice from the cob into the bowl as well.
• Whisk the eggs and milk into the corn until thoroughly combined.
• In another bowl, combine the flour, cornmeal , sugar, salt, and baking powder.
• Pour into the bowl of the corn mixture, and stir with a spatula to form a thick batter.
• In a heavy-duty skillet, pour enough oil so it's about 3/4-inch deep. Over medium-high heat, bring the oil to 375 F.
• When the oil is hot, carefully drop rounded tablespoons of the batter into the oil. Don't crowd the pan; the fritters should not touch each other. Cook about 3 minutes on each side, until the corn fritters are golden brown.
• Drain on paper towels or a wire rack and add a sprinkling of salt if desired.

FRESH SWEET CORN FRITTERS

Steps:

• Whisk flour and baking powder into a bowl and mix in corn kernels. Whisk egg yolks with cream in a small bowl and stir into the corn mixture; season with salt and black pepper. Beat egg whites with an electric mixer until fluffy and stiff peaks form in a separate bowl. Gently fold egg whites into the batter, retaining as much volume as possible.
• Pour vegetable oil into a deep heavy skillet to a depth of 3 inches. Heat to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C).
• Drop fritters into the hot oil, 2 to 3 tablespoons at a time, and cook until golden brown, 2 to 3 minutes per side. Drain fritters on paper towels and serve drizzled with cane syrup.
