MAMIE'S CORN FRITTERS

Steps:

• Combine creamed corn, flour, milk, egg, sugar, salt, 2 teaspoons oil, baking powder, vanilla extract, and pepper in a bowl to create a thick batter. Add more flour to the mixture if it seems too thin.
• Heat oil in a large deep skillet over medium-high heat.
• Test the readiness of the oil by dropping a small drop of batter into the oil; it should immediately start to bubble and cook, indicating that the oil is hot enough. Carefully drop tablespoons of batter into the hot oil. Cook no more than 4 fritters at a time to avoid cooling the oil, which causes the fritters to absorb more oil than necessary.
• Cook fritters in the hot oil for 1 1/2 to 2 minutes. Turn over and cook until both sides are golden brown, about 1 minute more. Lift from the oil and place on a paper towel to drain. Continue with remaining batter.

SUGAR-DUSTED CORN FRITTERS

Steps:

• Beat the egg, milk and sugar together.
• Sift the dry ingredients and add to the egg mixture.
• (If using sifted flour, you can just mix the dry ingredients together well and still get excellent results).
• Add the melted butter or margarine (or oil) and beat or stir briskly by hand until well blended.
• Stir or fold in the corn until evenly distributed.
• Drop by tablespoons into hot deep fat (375 degrees) and cook until golden brown.
• Drain on paper towels.
• Place on plates and dust with confectioner's sugar if desired. These are best if served with maple syrup.
• Notes: I usually try one first.
• If I find the oil is bubbling through the fritter, which would make it too greasy, I'll add a little more flour to the batter to prevent that.
• Also, as a shortcut, instead of deep frying, I usually pour 2 or 3 inches of oil into a large saucepan or electric frying pan and fry that way.
• When one side is brown, I just turn and brown the other side.

OLD FASHIONED CORN FRITTERS

Steps:

• Combine flour and powder in a large bowl.
• In a medium bowl, beat eggs and milk.
• Stir in corn and butter.
• Stir gradually into dry ingredients until just blended.
• In a deep fryer, electric frying pan or chicken fryer, heat oil until 375 degrees.
• Drop batter into heaping teaspoonfuls into hot oil and fry for 2- 3 minutes.
• You can also do this using less oil in a skillet, just flatten them a bit with the back of the spoon and then turn them like pancakes.
• Drain on paper towels.
• Some people put confectioner's sugar or syrup on these, we eat them plain.

CORN FRITTERS WITH MAPLE SYRUP

Steps:

• Heat oil in a deep fryer to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
• 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.

GRANDMA'S CORN FRITTERS

Steps:

• Combine corn, eggs, milk, butter, salt and pepper to taste, if using.
• Add flour gradually, just enough to hold mixture together.
• Amount of flour depends on size of eggs (and weather according to my grandma!).
• Heat 1/2 inch of oil in frying pan.
• Form patties whatever size you'd like, I do small ones so my kids can hold them.
• Fry in hot oil until golden brown.
• Serve as side dish OR if you left out the salt and pepper serve with syrup on the side.
• You can also dust with powdered sugar.

CURRIED CORN FRITTERS

Steps:

• Sift flour and curry powder into medium mixing bowl. Form a well in the flour, and carefully mix in egg, milk, and salt. Mixture should be fairly thin, and may require more milk. Whisk until smooth if any lumps exist. Set aside, and let rest for 10 minutes.
• Coat the bottom of a heavy frying pan with oil, and heat to medium-high. Stir corn into mixture, and drop batter by the spoonful into pan. Fry fritters until golden brown, about 2 minutes per side. Serve hot or cold.
