Provided by Maggie

Categories     Breads

Time 45m

Yield 9 fritters

Number Of Ingredients 7

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 (for frying) or margarine (for frying)

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!

Tips:

  • Use fresh, sweet corn for the best flavor.
  • If you don't have fresh corn, you can use frozen corn that has been thawed and drained.
  • Be sure to drain the corn well before adding it to the batter.
  • Don't overmix the batter. Overmixing will make the fritters tough.
  • Heat the oil to the correct temperature before frying the fritters. If the oil is not hot enough, the fritters will be greasy.
  • Fry the fritters in small batches so that they don't overcrowd the pan.
  • Don't overcrowd the pan when frying the fritters. This will cause them to stick together and not cook evenly.
  • Serve the fritters hot with your favorite dipping sauce.
