These nutty crispy morsels make great additions to summer barbecues and backyard gatherings. Corn, meal, egg, milk, and butter are among the key ingredients. While corn fritters may have originated in the south, corn fritters can quickly be modified with peppers, onions, or herbs to give them a regional and seasonal flair.

Corn fritters added to a lightly toasted bun creates a unique fish sandwich when paired with other vegetables and a pan-fried fish filet. Don't go for corn fritters as just a side dish but rather a vital component of a complete meal.

Make your fritters small, and they'll be appetizers. If there is a bumper crop of sweet corn, be sure to freeze some for a glimpse of summer in the winter. These corn fritters will make a gloomy, cold day.
