Recipe Introduction

It’s National Corn Fritter Day! These tasty southern treats can be summarized in three words: fried, yellow goodness. Corn fritters are savory bites of fried or baked corn batter—a mixture of corn, egg, flour, milk and melted butter. These treats can be eaten alone, served as a side or enjoyed with syrup, powdered sugar or jam. Though fritters originated in the South, these morsels have become worldwide phenomena. Now, you can find many variations worldwide. For example, Asian-style corn fritters are often prepared with vegetables and a spicy sauce. Head to your local Southern-style restaurant or grab your frying pan to cook up some corn fritters today. Don't be surprised if you end up wanting more! Punch Bowl
