Ingredients
Instructions
- Mix Bisquick with enough milk to make a thick batter.
- Add the drained corn and onion flakes to the batter and mix well.
- Heat one inch of canola oil in a deep skillet over medium heat.
- Drop rounded teaspoonfuls of batter into the hot oil and fry until golden brown.
- Drain on paper towels and serve with applesauce or syrup.
Tips & Substitutions
For a lighter texture, consider using fresh corn instead of canned. If you're short on Bisquick, you can substitute with a homemade blend of flour, baking powder, and salt. If you prefer a spicier kick, add a pinch of cayenne pepper or diced jalapeños. Remember to maintain the oil temperature to avoid greasy fritters, and test with a small amount of batter before frying the whole batch.
Serving Suggestions
Serve these corn fritters warm as a delightful appetizer or snack. They pair beautifully with applesauce or maple syrup for a sweet touch. For a complete meal, consider serving alongside a fresh salad or as a side dish with grilled meats. They also make a great addition to a brunch spread with other dishes like Laurie'S Cream Cheese Brownies.
Storage & Reheating
Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. To reheat, place them in a preheated oven at 350°F (175°C) for about 10 minutes or until warmed through. This method helps retain their crispness, unlike microwaving, which can make them soggy.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I freeze the corn fritters?
Yes, you can freeze the fritters after frying. Allow them to cool completely, then place them in a single layer on a baking sheet to freeze. Once frozen, transfer them to a freezer bag. When ready to eat, reheat directly from frozen in the oven until heated through.
What can I use instead of onion flakes?
If you don’t have onion flakes, you can use finely chopped fresh onion, about a quarter of a medium onion should suffice. Sauté the fresh onion in a little oil before adding it to the batter for a sweeter flavor and to soften its sharpness.
How can I make this recipe gluten-free?
To make gluten-free corn fritters, substitute the Bisquick with a gluten-free baking mix. Additionally, ensure your corn and any other ingredients used are certified gluten-free to avoid cross-contamination. This adaptation allows those with gluten sensitivities to enjoy a delicious treat!
