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!

SAVORY CORN FRITTERS
These corn fritters use fresh, whole kernels, mixed with spices, scallions and a simple batter. Corn fritters come in many types, from the cornmeal-based, deep-fried hush puppies, to the more patty-shaped, pan-fried fritters. Pan-seared in hot oil until crisp, these patty-like fritters contain Cheddar, which adds creaminess while still allowing the crunchy corn kernels to provide a pop of sweet flavor and texture with each bite. Fritters make an excellent side for a cookout, as they stand up to smoky barbecue flavors and can be enjoyed warm or at room temperature. Leftovers make an excellent breakfast, with a dollop of sour cream or plain yogurt on top.

Steps:
- In a large bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, salt, garlic powder, black pepper and ground cayenne. Whisk in the flour and baking powder until just combined. Stir in the corn, scallions and Cheddar.
- Heat a cast-iron skillet over medium-low and add enough oil to generously coat the bottom of the skillet.
- Once the oil is shimmering hot, add a heaping tablespoon of the batter to the skillet. Use the back of the spoon to flatten it into a round patty. Repeat to fry 3 to 4 fritters at once. Fry on each side until golden, about 2 minutes, then cook for an additional 2 minutes. Add more oil as needed.
- Remove from the skillet and transfer to a paper towel-lined baking sheet. Repeat until all fritters are fried. Serve warm or at room temperature.
Tips:
- Select the Freshest Corn: Use fresh corn on the cob for the best flavor and texture. If fresh corn is unavailable, frozen corn can be substituted.
- Properly Drain the Corn: After boiling or steaming the corn, make sure to drain it thoroughly to remove excess moisture. This will help the fritters crisp up nicely.
- Use a Variety of Herbs and Spices: Don't be afraid to experiment with different herbs and spices to add flavor to your corn fritters. Some popular options include salt, pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, and chili powder.
- Adjust the Consistency of the Batter: The batter for corn fritters should be thick enough to coat the corn kernels, but not too thick that it's difficult to stir. If the batter is too thick, add a little milk or water. If it's too thin, add more flour.
- Cook the Fritters Over Medium Heat: Cook the corn fritters over medium heat to ensure they cook evenly and don't burn. If the heat is too high, the outsides of the fritters will burn before the insides are cooked through.
- Serve the Fritters Immediately: Corn fritters are best served hot out of the pan. You can serve them with a variety of dipping sauces, such as ketchup, mayonnaise, or salsa.
Conclusion:
Corn fritters are a delicious and versatile dish that can be enjoyed for breakfast, lunch, or dinner. They're easy to make and can be customized to your liking with different herbs, spices, and toppings. So next time you're looking for a quick and easy meal, give corn fritters a try!
