Everyone in my family loves corn fritters. Especially my eleven-year-old daughter who doesn’t eat meat but also not many vegetables.
Therefore I was so happy when she declared that crispy corn fritters are one of her favorite dishes. As an extra bonus for me, she can make them herself with a little bit of help on my part.
And what is not to like about these tasty, and so easy to make fritters. Once you know the basic recipe (as you will see below) you can add your favorite spices, herbs, and also ingredients like finely chopped red onions or crumbly feta cheese.
You can enjoy corn fritters as a light lunch or even for dinner, especially on these hot summer evenings, with a chilled glass of white wine.
We love to serve our easy and tasty corn fritters with a simple green salad, a freshly baked crusty flatbread, and our famous dip (please note: recipes are still to come).
But enough said, without further ado, here is our tried and tested recipe.
