Marmy's Corn Fritters

My Family loves corn anyway and anyhow you fix it. When I was little my marmy made these for me everytime we would visit now I make them for my grandson who loves them as much as I did! I have used frozen corn when I had no fresh...was still good! Sometime we eat them as snacks or appetizers and use a sourcream and chive dip. Guessing at prep time depends on how fast you are at cutting the corn off the cob.
