Fritters have become quite the fan favorite around these parts. (Looking at you, 5-Ingredient Zucchini Fritters!) And while zucchini, carrots and even butternut squash have gotten in on the fritter fest, I figured it was about time I turned summer’s star produce into a hot, crispy, stackable snack. Welcome to the party, corn fritters!
So there’s good news and there’s bad news when it comes to making this quick and easy recipe. The good news is you can use fresh or frozen corn, which means corn fritters can be on your table 365 days a year.
And the bad news? If anyone else gets a taste of this quick-fix recipe, you’ll be forced to share. And I’ve been quite open about my thoughts on sharing (or perhaps better phrased, “not sharing”) food. #sharingisntcaring
So proceed with caution, knowing that once you pan-fry up a batch of corn fritters, how you allocate them is totally up to you. Just don’t forget a dollop of sour cream or garlic aioli on top for the perfect cool and creamy complement!
The combination of hot, crispy fritters with a refreshing topping is a duo that’s hard to beat. But if you’re looking to make these fritters into a meal (vegetarian or otherwise!), may I suggest frying or poaching an egg or two and serving that atop your tower of golden brown beauties? Break that yolk and dig in!
