Good Ol’ Simple Corn Fritters

Recipes June 29, 2018

Certain foods arouse distinct and comforting memories, and for me, one of those foods is good ol’ heartwarming corn fritters!

Simple and Easy Corn Fritters Recipe

 

When I was a kid we sometimes ate Sunday dinners at White Fence Farm in Joliet. We’d make the hour-long trek after church knowing the food would satiate the seven growling stomachs packed into the family station wagon.

The Southern style restaurant served platters of fried chicken served family style. Side dishes included cole slaw, french fries, and piping hot corn fritters sprinkled with powdered sugar.

For some odd reason, I got such a hankering for these slightly sweet fried morsels this past weekend and searched the internet for a recipe reminiscent of those served at White Fence Farm. I ended up combining a couple of recipes in order to get the right amount of sweetness and crisp corn.

Corn fritters are quick and easy to make and they are oh so good!  Do like I did and enjoy them as a snack with a glass of cold milk.

Eating corn fritters last weekend brought back warm and fuzzy memories of my family gathered ’round a long table at White Fence Farm eating the best fried chicken ever. The restaurant didn’t take reservations and it wasn’t unusual to wait an hour for a table. Luckily, they had old-time vintage nickelodeon machines that kept the kids entertained until the nickels ran out.

After dinner was over, we’d all pile back into the station wagon for the long ride home – with full, happy bellies!

Give this easy recipe a try. Some people think these corn fritters are more like hush puppies, but they’re a bit sweeter and in my opinion, much better!

    Wow, I haven’t even thought of corn fritters for Years! They bring back memories for me too. When my husband gets his illeostomy reversed this fall, I’m going to have to make some. He can’t eat corn right now, so I’m not even going to mention this to him. And, I’ll use your recipe, thanks.

    Thanks for bringing back these wonderful memories for you and me, i can’t remember the name of the restaurant but it was ever so good to go there and fill up. I also had an aunt who owned a restaurant who made them too, it a good thing we didn’t have all the electronics they do now cause i guess i ran it all off or i would have been a rolly-polly,lol!! Thanks for the recipe who knows where mine is.

      Ha! When I was a kid I rode my bike everywhere! Mom and dad didn’t chauffeur us around and all summer long we’d be outside from the time we woke up until the time to go to bed. Eating meals is the only time we’d be in the house. I need to dust my bike off and start working off all the corn fritters I ate. LOL. 🙂
