Mennonite Corn Fritters




Mennonite corn fritters are a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for breakfast, lunch, or dinner. They are made with fresh corn, eggs, flour, baking powder, salt, and pepper. The corn gives the fritters a sweet and savory flavor, while the eggs and flour bind everything together. The baking powder gives the fritters a light and fluffy texture.

To make Mennonite corn fritters, you will need the following ingredients:

  • 2 cups fresh corn, or 1 can (15 ounces) corn, drained

  • 2 eggs, beaten

  • 1/4 cup all-purpose flour

  • 1 teaspoon baking powder

  • 1/2 teaspoon salt

  • 1/8 teaspoon black pepper

  • 1/4 cup milk

  • 1 tablespoon butter, melted

  • Oil for frying

Instructions:

  1. In a large bowl, combine the corn, eggs, flour, baking powder, salt, pepper, and milk. Stir until well combined.

  2. Heat 1/4 inch of oil in a large skillet over medium heat.

  3. Drop the batter by spoonfuls into the hot oil. Fry for 2-3 minutes per side, or until golden brown.

  4. Drain the fritters on paper towels.

  5. Serve hot with your favorite toppings, such as maple syrup, sour cream, or bacon bits.

Tips:

  • For a sweeter fritter, use a combination of fresh and canned corn.

  • To make the fritters even more fluffy, beat the eggs until they are light and airy.

  • If you don't have any milk, you can substitute water.

  • To prevent the fritters from sticking to the pan, heat the oil over medium heat before adding the batter.

  • Be careful not to overcrowd the pan, or the fritters will not cook evenly.

Variations:

  • Add 1/2 cup of chopped onion to the batter.

  • Add 1/2 cup of shredded cheddar cheese to the batter.

  • Top the fritters with your favorite salsa or hot sauce.

Enjoy!
