Steps:
- Drain the liquid from the 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. I drop about 1/4 of a cup of batter for each fritter, cooking about 3 or 4 together in the same pan. Fry them just like pancakes, turning them, after the under side 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 about 8 or 9 fritters. I usually double it because they are so popular.
- I serve the fritters with applesauce, or Pancake Syrup or just plain with more margarine for the kids. They can take the place of both starch and bread in a meal. For lunch, or a light supper, make Scalloped Tomatoes, Corn Fritters, and serve fruit and yogurt for dessert. Delicious!

Steps:
- Combine flour and powder in a large bowl.
- In a medium bowl, beat eggs and milk.
- Stir in corn and butter.
- Stir gradually into dry ingredients until just blended.
- In a deep fryer, electric frying pan or chicken fryer, heat oil until 375 degrees.
- Drop batter into heaping teaspoonfuls into hot oil and fry for 2- 3 minutes.
- You can also do this using less oil in a skillet, just flatten them a bit with the back of the spoon and then turn them like pancakes.
- Drain on paper towels.
- Some people put confectioner's sugar or syrup on these, we eat them plain.
Tips:
- To achieve crispy fritters, ensure the oil is hot enough before frying. You can test this by dropping a small amount of batter into the oil; if it sizzles immediately, the oil is ready.
- For a sweeter fritter, use creamed corn instead of plain canned corn.
- Add some chopped fresh herbs, such as cilantro or parsley, to the batter for extra flavor.
- If you don't have buttermilk, you can make your own by adding 1 tablespoon of vinegar or lemon juice to 1 cup of milk and letting it sit for 5 minutes.
- Serve the fritters with your favorite dipping sauce, such as ketchup, mayonnaise, or salsa.
