Can you recall a “special” recipe that you grew up with that always put a smile on your face? Well, for us, that would be CORN FRITTERS! I guess they are kind of like apple fritters (although I’m not sure if I’ve actually ever had an apple fritter) but these are seriously amazing! I have never tried to make them myself…until last night. I geared up and bought myself a deep fryer and thought that I was gonna give it a try! Once I snagged the recipe from my sis-in-law I realized how vague it was! Oh boy…I am just beginning to cook and don’t quite have the confidence in my improvisation skills yet! At this point I stick to the recipe, follow every direction and hope for the best! Well, that wasn’t gonna cut the mustard this time with my mom’s ambiguous recipe so I rolled up my sleeves and gave it a whirl!

Here is my new fryer! I decided to get a “cheaper” one until I know how to use this sucker! It worked perfectly and it really is a “cool daddy”! 

 These are the ingredients. This is all you need to get a little closer to yummy goodness!

1 can of corn……….1 egg……….milk……….1-1/2 cups flour…….2 tsp baking powder……….3/4 tsp salt 

Step 1) Drain 1 can of corn and put into a measuring cup. You see 2 cans in the picture above but that was my “backup” can in case I messed anything up!

Step 2) Add enough milk to make a cup. Well…my corn surpassed the 1cup mark so I just added enough milk to reach the top of the corn. Just add some milk now and you will see that I added more later!

Step 3) Sift together 1-1/2  cups of flour, 2 tsp baking powder, and 3/4 tsp salt.

 Step 4) Beat the egg…beat it like you mean it!

 Step 5) Combine beaten egg to the milk and corn mixture.

Step 6) Add to dry ingredients and stir until moistened.

This is when I noticed that I didn’t have enough milk to create a creamy batter.

So add more milk to make your batter look this this!

Not too runny and not too thick. Almost like a pancake batter!

Step 7) Deep fry time! Just spoon some batter into your deep fryer. I was a little nervous at this point because I didn’t know how much to put in or if the batter would even hold together! Just play around with it but it was easier than I thought! If I can do it you can too!

You want these lil fritters to fry until they are a deep golden color. The first couple of fritters I fried weren’t completely done in the middle so I made sure they were nice and crispy!

Once they are all crispy place on a plate with a paper towl so any excess oil can drain. Don’t these look yummy! 

Now…you are probably wondering what this has to do with honey…well, it may sound weird but you put honey on top just like a biscuit! I think I ate so many before dinner that I was completely full! I love me some corn fritters and I think you will too!

This is perfect for the fall and the boys will love em too! It is so easy and I’m glad I gave it a try!
