Dandy Sweet Corn makes for the best tasting corn fritters.

Dandy Sweet Corn is grown and harvested  in Florida, Georgia, and Michigan. They choose not to use any type of genetically modified seed or crop to grow Dandy Sweet Corn.

Ingredients to make Corn Fritters –

  • Dandy Sweet Corn
  • Flour
  • Sugar
  • Baking powder
  • Salt, pepper
  • Egg
  • Whole milk
  • Green onion
  • Vegetable oil
  • Optional: Sour Cream for Topping

How to easily remove corn from the cob –

This method is fool proof!  No messy corn kernals all over the floor and counter!  Plus if you want to, you just leave them in the bowl and add the corn fritter ingredients.  One bowl easy!

Simply place a small bowl or ramiken upside down in a large bowl.  Stand the corn up on it and using a serrated knife slice the corn right into the bowl.

Give the corn fritter mixture a stir and let it rest for a few minutes while you heat the oil in the pan.  You can do this inside or out on the BBQ for a super fun summer snack!  We use about 1/8 inch of oil.   It doesn’t take that much to brown these up.

After heating the oil drop a heaping tablespoon into the pan.  Be careful of splatters!  I use two spoons to help shape the fritters.  Perfection is not required here…we will call them ‘rustic’ shapes :).

Cook for 2-3 minutes and flip.   Remove to a paper towel lined plate.

 How to Serve Corn Fritters –

  • Serve as a side dish or appetizer.  Make them smaller if you wish.
  • Top with sour cream, more green onion or bits of bacon.
  • Store them in sealed container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
  • Reheat in the oven or air fryer to crisp them back up!
