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!

CORN FRITTERS SOUTHERN STYLE
Steps:
- Remove all silk from corn and cut raw corn from the cob over a large bowl. Scrape the juice from the cobs into the bowl as well. Discard cobs. Stir in the eggs, flour and salt to form a batter the consistency of thin pancake batter.
- Heat oil in an electric skillet to 325 degrees F (165 degrees C). If using a large skillet on the stove, preheat oil to medium high heat. There should be enough oil in the pan to cover the fritter.
- Use a large serving spoon to make 4 pancake sized fritters at the same time. Fry for about 5 minutes on each side or until golden brown.
- Drain on paper towels and serve warm.
Tips:
- For the best flavor, use fresh corn kernels. If using frozen corn, thaw it completely before using.
- Be sure to drain the corn kernels well before adding them to the batter. This will help prevent the fritters from being too wet.
- 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 absorb too much oil and be greasy.
- Don't overcrowd the pan when frying the fritters. This will cause the oil temperature to drop and the fritters will not cook evenly.
- Serve the fritters hot with your favorite dipping sauce.
