Corn Fritters

Nothing is better than eating corn in the summer time. In this recipe frozen corn is mixed into a fritter and fried. Sweet and savory summer deliciousness.

Corn fritters are such a lovely savory summer treat and the good news is that they’re really easy to make. Corn is not only yummy, it’s healthy as well so you can freely indulge often in these delicious fritters!

I use frozen corn for this recipe but you can use fresh cooked corn as well. Just cut it off the ear and use. You can also easily make this recipe gluten free by using gluten free flour.

How to make corn fritters

Corn fritters are really easy to make. Combine the flour and dry ingredients in a large mixing bowl. Then add the frozen corn and seasonings and mix well. Shape mixture into 2 1/2 inch fritter and your fritters are ready to fry.

The fritters are pan fried until golden brown. Be sure to press them out until they are even and thin before frying so they will cook in the middle. If you prefer fuller fritters, just put them in the oven for 15 minutes or so after frying.

The fritters are done when they are slightly crisp on the outside and soft yet cooked in the inside. They are best served warm.

I love to serve my corn fritters with a red pepper or hot pepper dipping sauce to accentuate the sweetness of the corn. A yogurt and garlic sauce also tastes great. These delicious fritters are versatile as well, and can be served as an appetizer, a snack or as a light lunch with a salad. Enjoy!
