Tired of eating corn on the cob, corn off the cob, corn with butter, corn with peppers, etc? I found a recipe in an antique cookbook for Corn Fritters and it looked good enough to put into the blog. I tried this for a snack for the kids this afternoon. It is pretty bland but tasty. I would definately recommend some sauce of some type for dipping or a strong cheese like parmesan or chedder stirred right into the batter. I also thought that these fritters would make a nice base for something Mexican- like top them with ground beef, cheese, lettuce, and salsa- like a tostada or something. You might also (if you like them) stir in a few chopped hot peppers for kick.
Here’s the recipe:
2 C. corn
1 Tbl minced, dry onion or fresh onion (1/4 cup or so) chopped
3 Tbl. milk
1 1/3 C. flour
1/2 C. melted butter
1 tsp salt
1 tsp baking soda
Combine this and then add:
3 beaten eggs
Drop by spoonful onto a greased skillet/griddle. Brown lightly and flip to brown the other side. I have also seen similar recipes for zucchini- you shred it up into a similar mixture- get creative and try some!
