Corn Fritters

Like the Old Mill's in Westminster, MA (not quite as crispy...have to keep tweaking to get it right)

2 cups (1 can) creamed corn
2 eggs
1/2 cup milk
2 cups flour
1.5 tsp baking powder
1 tsp salt
4 tsp sugar

veg. oil for frying

Heat oil to 350 degrees. Mix wet ingredients. Mix dry ingredients. Combine. Drop spoonful into hot oil. Turn once. Remove when golden brown. Place on paper towels to absorb extra oil. Serve hot with maple syrup.


BUT...I just found this recipe also marked "BEST FRITTERS" (note to self: only mark as best one recipe.)

Try this one as well.

4 cups vegetable oil for deep-frying
1 cup cream-style corn
1 egg
1 cup all-purpose flour
3/4 tsp baking powder
1/2 tsp salt
1 tsp sugar
1 cup maple flavored pancake syrup

Heat oil in a deep fryer to 350 degrees. In a small bowl, mix together the cream-style corn and egg. In a medium bowl, stir together the flour, baking powder, salt and sugar. Add the corn mixture to the dry ingredients, and mix until just blended.Drop batter 1/8 cup at a time into the hot oil. Fry until golden brown, turning once if the fritters don't turn over by themselves. Drain fritters on paper towels, and serve with maple syrup.
