Best Great Grandmas Corn Fritters Recipes

MAMIE'S CORN FRITTERS

Steps:

• Combine creamed corn, flour, milk, egg, sugar, salt, 2 teaspoons oil, baking powder, vanilla extract, and pepper in a bowl to create a thick batter. Add more flour to the mixture if it seems too thin.
• Heat oil in a large deep skillet over medium-high heat.
• Test the readiness of the oil by dropping a small drop of batter into the oil; it should immediately start to bubble and cook, indicating that the oil is hot enough. Carefully drop tablespoons of batter into the hot oil. Cook no more than 4 fritters at a time to avoid cooling the oil, which causes the fritters to absorb more oil than necessary.
• Cook fritters in the hot oil for 1 1/2 to 2 minutes. Turn over and cook until both sides are golden brown, about 1 minute more. Lift from the oil and place on a paper towel to drain. Continue with remaining batter.

• Form patties whatever size you'd like, I do small ones so my kids can hold them.
• Fry in hot oil until golden brown.
• Serve as side dish OR if you left out the salt and pepper serve with syrup on the side.

Steps:

• 1. adjust an oven rack to the middle position and heat the oven to 200°. Set a wire rack over a rimmed baking sheet and set aside.
• 2. Grate each ear of corn over the large holes of a box grater into a bowl. Using the back of the butter knife, scrape any remaining milk from the cob into the bowl.
• 3. Whisk the egg yolks, flour, salt and pepper into the corn mixture.
• 4. In a medium bowl, beat the egg whites and cream of tartar with electric mixer on medium low speed until foamy. Increase the speed to medium-high, gradually add the sugar, and whip until the whites form stiff peaks, 1 to 3 minutes. Gently fold the whipped egg whites into the batter until mixed.
• 5. Heat 1 tablespoon of the oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat until shimmering. Drop six heaping tablespoons of batter into the oil, then flatten each into a 2 1/2 inch diameter circle with the back of spoon. Cook until puffed and golden brown on both sides, about two minutes, flipping halfway through. Transfer the fritters to a paper towel lined plate, then transfer to the prepared wire rack and keep warm in the oven. Repeat with remaining oil and the remaining batter in five batches. Sprinkle with chives and serve. Serves 6 to 8
