Satisfying Corn Fritters

Submitted by Ouisey

"Fritters are a pleasing side dish. The sugar can be adjusted if you like things a bit sweeter. The recipe calls for deep frying them, but I have also done them in a skillet with just enough oil to cover the bottom of the pan."

I served this as a side dish to go with our Mexican theme dinner, and it was a nice change of pace to have instead of the usual rice dishes. It was a lot easier to prepare than I first thought, too. I didn't deep fry but just pan fried them in my skillet, and they turned out wonderful. Thanks, Ouisey. Made for Spring Pick-A-Chef.

Delish! I deep fried, and recommend that you reduce the size a bit at 350 degrees to get the middle done when the outside is nice and brown. Also, I wouldn't hesitate to have these for breakfast with the maple syrup.....might even make me want to get out of bed!!

Served these plain with a sprinkle of salt. Do not drop more than 1 tablespoon of batter at a time or the fritters may not fry up effectively (too raw in the middle.) Pan fried rather than deep fried. Served with #116849 for an easy but delicious meal.

We thought these were realy good. Made them in lieu of fries for fish and chips. I used only 1/2 t sugar and melted shortening rather than oil.

Very nice, simple recipe. I replaced the sugar with a teaspoon of honey and they were delicious. Next time I will double it to make more.
