Instructions

Drain corn well and combine with all ingredients. Mix well and let stand for approximately 15 minutes.

Heat the frying pan (griddle or cast iron griddle/pan) on medium heat. Add 1/2 inch of oil and one pat of butter to coat the bottom of pan/griddle.
When oil/butter is hot and starting to sizzle, add corn fritter batter and fry. Depending on the vessel you use to drop the batter, frying time will vary.

Flip when the edges are brown and the center is starting to firm like a pancake. Drain on paper towels.
