These vibrant crispy morsels make great additions to summer barbecues and backyard gatherings. Corn, meal, egg, cream, milk, and butter are among the main ingredients. Corn fritters can be easily modified with peppers, onions, or herbs to give them a regional and seasonal flair, although they may have originated in the south.

Corn fritters added to a lightly toasted bun make a unique fish sandwich when mixed with other vegetables and a pan-fried fish filet. Don't think of corn fritters as just a side dish, but rather a useful component of a complete meal.

Make your fritters small and serve as appetizers. Be sure to freeze some for a glimpse of summer during the winter if there's a bumper crop of sweet corn. These corn fritters will lighten up a gloomy, cold day.
