wanted to try corn fritters for Corn Fritters Day. And since I don't know where to get ready made corn fritters I had to make my own. I chose to use Quick and Crispy Corn Fritters from Small Town Woman, because both quick and crispy sounded like good qualities to me.
Most of the ingredients you probably have in your house already. I had everything but the actual corn. You need 2 1/2 cups of corn for this recipe. I bought two cans of corn and just had a little left over. I used the optional creole seasoning because I happened to have some but if you don't, I don't think you need to go out and find some.
The batter comes together easily. Kind of like making pancake batter. So you just need a whisk and a bowl, not even a mixer or anything.
I never had to add more oil but there wasn't much left by the end. The recipe says to cook on each side until "golden brown and crispy". But I didn't know how to judge that. So, since it was like pancake batter, I judged it that way. You will see bubbles rising up through the batter, and that's when I flipped them. I had a bit of splashing with all the oil in the pan so just be careful...
They came out crispy on the outside and fluffy on the inside. And you get the change of texture and the pop of freshness from the corn kernels. I have never had corn fritters before, so I don't know how they compare to other corn fritters. But these were delicious. If you like corn, I don't know how you could not like these. They are good all by themselves but I ate them with some chicken that had a creamy sauce and they were also very good with a sauce. I had some left over that I ate a few days later. They had lost the crispiness but were still fluffy and delicious.
They are a nice, rather quick, pretty versatile, delicious side dish. I will be making these again.
