• Ready In: 5mins
• Ingredients: 7
• Yields: 8-9 fritters
• Serves: 4-5

ingredients

• 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 or margarine (for frying)

directions

1. Drain the liquid from 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. Drop about 1/4 cup of batter for each fritter, cooking about 3 or 4 together in the sme pan. Fry them like pancakes, turning them, after the underside 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 8 or 9 fritters.

Nummy, easy, cheap, and kid friendly! These are much like pancakes with corn kernels in them, but definitely in a good way!
