Corn Fritters Southern Style

Ingredients

6 ears freshly shucked corn

4 eggs

1/2 cup all-purpose flour

1/2 teaspoon salt

2 cups vegetable oil for frying

Directions

1. Remove all silk from corn and cut raw corn from the cob over a large bowl. Scrape the juice from the cobs into the bowl as well. Discard cobs. Stir in the eggs, flour and salt to form a batter the consistency of thin pancake batter.

2. Heat oil in an electric skillet to 325 degrees F (165 degrees C). If using a large skillet on the stove, preheat oil to medium high heat. There should be enough oil in the pan to cover the fritter.
