These scrumptious morsels make great additions to summer barbecues and backyard gatherings. Corn, meal, egg, milk, and butter are among the main ingredients. Although corn fritters originated in the south, corn fritters can easily be modified with peppers, onions, or herbs to give them a regional and seasonal flair.
Corn fritters added to a lightly toasted bun creates a unique fish sandwich when mixed with other vegetables and a pan-fried fish filet. Don't think of corn fritters as just a side dish, but rather a vital component of a complete meal.
Make your fritters small and serve as appetizers. If there's a bumper crop of sweet corn, be sure to freeze some for a glimpse of summer in the winter. These corn fritters will make a gloomy, cold day.
