I don’t know about you but I consume so much sweet corn in the summer time that I could probably be a stalk of corn.

Just last week Jason and I went to the store and bought eight ears of corn and we each devoured two that evening and the evening after.

They’re just so cheap (4 for $1 at our store) and so easy to make.

Oh, wanna hear a funny story about my first corn cooking experience? Of course you do.

Last year, when Jason and I decided to have corn one evening, I was like “oh man, but this is going to take forever to cook, we should’ve started earlier.”

He was like, “huh, what? It only takes like 3 minutes to cook corn” and I was like “um no, it takes like 40 minutes.”

He looked at me like I just said I wanted a divorce or something.

Yeah, so I learned then that my parents had been cooking corn completely wrong my entire life and I inherited that.

My parents have since changed from 40 minutes to 3 minutes for corn cooking – don’t you worry!

How to make corn fritters

You’ll obviously need corn.

You can use fresh corn if it’s in season or you can use thawed corn kernels.

Then you create a batter out of flour, cornmeal, and milk.

I’ve heard of others making the batter with pancake mix and I suppose it could work too but I’ve always made it this way so I can’t attest to how the pancake batter would work out.

I like my batter because it’s not too thick so it covers the corn kernels just enough and it’s not too much batter.

I hate corn fritters that are all cakey batter. The point of a corn fritter is to taste the fresh, summer corn!

One thing I should mention: these are egg-free! It’s totally possible to make corn fritters with no eggs.

If you choose to use pancake batter then they won’t be egg-free; read the label!
