If you’re like me, you’ve probably had peach fritters. Or apple fritters. Both are divine treats that probably came down from heaven. As my husband and I get used to our new surroundings here in North Carolina, we’re discovering interesting new foods we never had before. One of them being corn fritters.
We were at a restaurant one night and we saw corn fritters on the menu. We decided to give them a try and OMG, they were AMAZING! Not a native to the area, I simply thought this was something unique to this particular restaurant. But soon, I saw corn fritters everywhere. And you know what that meant, right?
That’s right. I had to make my own version of these. If you love fritters of any kind and you love corn, you simply must make these. The first time I made them, they turned out a bit too dry, but I went back to the drawing board and voila! I got it down to perfection. My corn fritters came out just perfect. They were delicious, and I even made a honey butter to go with it because I’m extra like that. You’ve simply got to make this right now. You can thank me later!
