Today is National Corn Fritter Day. Corn Fritters are a traditional food of the South. They consist of corn kernels, eggs, flour, milk and melted butter. They can be fried or baked. Corn Fritters can also be served with jam, fruit, honey, maple syrup and cream.
They are a very delicious treat. A simple recipe for corn fritters from "A Taste of Home":
1/3 cup all purpose flour
1/8 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon baking powder
1/4 teaspoon paprika
1 egg, separated
3/4 cup corn
oil for deep frying
In a bowl, combine the flour, salt, baking powder and paprika. In another bowl, beat egg yolk; stir in corn. Add to flour mixture and mix well. Beat egg white until soft peaks form; fold into flour mixture.
In a deep fat fryer, heat oil to 375 degrees. Drop batter by heaping tablespoonfuls into oil; fry for 3 to 4 minutes or until golden brown. Drain on paper towel.
Makes 2 to 4 servings.
