Clyde Jr. Corn Fritters
Clyde Jr. Corn Fritters are crispy, golden bites packed with sweet corn flavor, perfect as an appetizer or snack for family gatherings or casual parties.
Ingredients
Instructions
- Drain the corn and set aside.
- Sift together the flour, baking powder, and salt.
- Blend the milk and egg until well combined.
- Gradually add the wet mixture to the dry ingredients, stirring constantly.
- Stir in the corn until evenly distributed.
Tips & Substitutions
For extra flavor, consider adding chopped green onions or bell peppers to the batter. If you need a gluten-free option, substitute the flour with a gluten-free all-purpose blend. Adjust the milk slightly if the batter seems too thick; it should be thick but pourable. Ensure your frying oil is hot enough to avoid greasy fritters, similar to those in Floretta Flynn'S Dumplings.
Serving Suggestions
Serve the fritters warm with a dollop of sour cream or a sprinkle of fresh herbs. They pair well with a side salad or can be used as a side dish for grilled meats. For a complete meal, consider serving them alongside Kelsey'S Favorite Banana Bread for a delightful brunch.
Storage & Reheating
Store any leftover corn fritters in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to three days. To reheat, place them in a preheated oven at 350°F (175°C) for about 10-15 minutes until warmed through and crispy again. Avoid microwaving, as this will make them soggy.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I freeze corn fritters?
Yes, you can freeze corn fritters! Allow them to cool completely, then place in a single layer on a baking sheet to freeze. Once frozen, transfer them to a freezer-safe bag. They can be stored for up to three months. To reheat, bake from frozen until heated through.
What can I use instead of milk in this recipe?
If you're looking for a dairy-free alternative, you can substitute the milk with almond milk, soy milk, or oat milk. Each of these will work well in the recipe and maintain the right consistency for the batter.
How do I know when the fritters are done cooking?
The fritters are done when they are golden brown on the outside and firm to the touch. Typically, this takes about 3-4 minutes per side in hot oil. Keep an eye on them to avoid burning, and adjust the heat as necessary.
