Corn Fritters

Corn fritters are the perfect comfort food. The frying changes to texture of the corn to a slightly crispy and unexpected sweetness.  The breading that holds them together will remind you of a yummy muffin. This is considered to be southern cooking and all I can say is those Southerners sure do seem to do it right! Pair this up with Salmon Patties for the perfect light and cozy meal. Once you try this, you'll make them again and again.
