Corn Fritters Recipe

I find appetizers so hard!  Whenever it is my turn for book club or a group potluck to bring the appetizer, I start worrying about it days in advance. I can’t tell you the times I have brought guacamole or cheese and crackers. Very safe and not original!

What is your go-to appetizer to make?

I even created a shared board on Pinterest to save all kinds of appetizers:  Appetizers: from small Bites, to dips and crowd pleasers.  That way I can scroll through and find new recipes or ideas of what to make. Please follow the board and if you would like to participate, let me know and you can be part of the shared board contributors.

Which gets me to this post!  Corn fritters.  We first had them at our July 4th Beach Picnic.  My good friend Christine is great at finding new recipes and she brought the corn fritters.

Are you wondering what a fritter is?

I had an idea, but wasn’t 100% sure.. So I look it up.. and this is what Wikipedia had to say..

A fritter is a fried pastry usually consisting of a portion of batter or breading which has been filled with bits of meat, seafood, fruit, vegetables or other ingredients. Fritters are prepared in both sweet and savory varieties.

You can see from the pictures below how they looked.  What you can’t see is how good they were!  We all loved them and they disappeared pretty quickly.  To get the rest of the menu and recipes – go to the post July 4th Beach Picnic.  It meal was a delicious  and so fun to be at the beach with great friends!
