"This recipe brings back memories. My mom and older sister used to make these and they are yummy!"

ingredients

• 1 cup all-purpose flour

• 1 tablespoon butter, melted

• salt and pepper

directions

1. Combine flour and powder in a large bowl.
2. In a medium bowl, beat eggs and milk.

5. In a deep fryer, electric frying pan or chicken fryer, heat oil until 375 degrees.

I have added salt and pepper to the recipe. I am used to having them as a savory dish, so salt and pepper were always part of it. However, because some people serve them with maple syrup, etc. I did not list s & p when I first posted. Also, the kind of corn you use is important...sometimes the corn itself is tasteless. I am sorry if anyone made these and they turned out bad...I know they can be a lot of work :), but I also know they can be really good.

Karen: You are right. You must use good tasting corn. Corn off the cob works best. I personally do not like fritters with canned corn at all. I like your recipe. I don't add the salt and pepper because we eat them with syrup. Yum Yum!!

my son made these for dinner the other night ( he's 11 ) and they turned out beautifully, so thank you on his behalf for sharing this recipe and for giving us a light and simple meal - which my son says he will definately make again

These turned out ok, but there was a bit more batter than I was hoping in the mixture, and so they tasted more like flour than like corn. I did use canned corn, and of course, fresh corn would have been tastier.

very good batter,but i was looking for more of a corn meal coating.i realized this when i fried them,i also added a bit of garlic powder and a tblsp. of minced onion...i can see where fresh corn would be so much better, of course.
