Quick and Crispy Corn Fritters are the perfect accompaniment for fried chicken or grilled Kielbasa sausage. They are delicious with warm maple syrup or with a slightly spicy aioli.
Calling all corn lovers! Oh yeah that would be me, my family and my friends. Nothing better than old style Quick and Crispy Corn Fritters! Oh my goodness now my mouth is watering just thinking about them. I love them so!! These beauties are perfect with so many meals. You can serve them for dinner with Easy Pan Fried Chicken and Cream Gravy or Skillet Sausage and Potatoes. They are perfect for breakfast as an accompaniment to Baked Creamy Herb Parmesan Eggs. Serve with warm maple syrup on the side. The possibilities are endless and only limited by your imagination.
These Quick and Crispy Corn Fritters are so quick to come together. You can have the batter whipped up in about fives minutes and the cook time in the skillet is under three minutes for each batch. These beauties combine sweet corn in a perfectly seasoned batter that crisps up on the edges but is sweet, tender and so tasty on the inside. It will remind you of your Grandmothers home-style cooking.
They are best served right out of the skillet with warm maple syrup or if you like it a little spicy a chipotle pepper aioli. You can find a recipe for that in my Onion Straws with Chipotle Pepper Aioli. You could even go a completely different route and serve them with fresh strawberry jam.

August 29, 2018 at 10:54 amWould Gluten Free flour work or just corn meal? Also what about buttermilk instead of regular milk?
Beth Pierce says
August 29, 2018 at 4:10 pmI am unsure of the gluten free flour since I am not familiar with it. I think you most definitely could replace the milk with buttermilk.

August 30, 2018 at 11:57 amCould you use corn meal in place of flour? Would be nice to add jalapeños for a kick and maybe a little cheddar cheese. Yummo
Beth Pierce says
August 30, 2018 at 5:01 pmI think if I was to add cornmeal I would go half n half with flour. I think full cornmeal would be too gritty, rough and might actually lack flavor and lift. I love the idea of jalapenos and cheddar. Delicious!
