When I was growing up in Iowa, my mom made these awesome corn fritters all the time. They're a fantastic way to use up leftover corn and your family will love them. Some people make theirs without the sugar, but not me. I can eat a pile of them for breakfast!
1-1/4 cups fresh or frozen corn, thawed
1/4 cup sugar
1-1/4 cups all-purpose flour
2 teaspoons baking powder
1/4 teaspoon salt
1 cup milk
Oil for deep-fat frying
Syrup, for dipping
In a large bowl, combine the corn and sugar. In a small bowl, combine the flour, baking powder & salt; stir into corn mixture. Gradually add milk, stirring until blended.
In an electric skillet or deep-fat fryer, heat 1/4 in. of oil to 375°.
Drop batter by 1/4 cupfuls, a few at a time, into hot oil.
Fry until golden brown, about 2 to 2-1/2 minutes on each side. Drain on paper towels.
Serve with syrup.
