Exactly a week ago, we had an unbelievably bad storm here in western ND. With golf ball and baseball sized hails! Sadly, the small town nearby got hit the worst. Windows were broken, cars got dented, and windshields were shattered. A lot of farmers lost their crop too. Devastating and heart-breaking!

Our ranch was hit pretty badly as well. The beautiful garden, my husband and MIL tended so carefully all summer long, was flattened in just one night. No more eggplants, no more peppers, no more squashes, no more jalapenos, and no more pumpkins… So sad!

On a bright side though, we still got pretty good crop of sweet corns. As I was helping my mother-in-law with canning corns last week, I saved some corn kernels to cook my favorite sweet corn fritters.

I have to admit, corn on the cob is pretty darn good. But it gets a little old after a few days. That’s when I make my favorite sweet corn fritters.

They’re so comforting, delicious and full of flavor. Every savory bite bursts with crunchy sweet corn. When you serve these fritters right away, you’ll appreciate its light and crispy texture. At room temperature, they loose the crispiness, but they are still delicious and addictive. Every time I passed through the kitchen, I couldn’t help but grab another one.

The recipe can’t get easier than this. Pictures worth thousand words, so here you go.

    I had a bunch of canned corn in my pantry and came across this recipe and decided to make it since it was canned corn I added a bit of sugar plus I didn’t have cilanto so I used parsley, I topped them with sour cream and hot sauce they were delicious

  2. Hello, do you recommend a dip to serve these with ?
    I see in the picture, there seems to be a dip too.
    Thank you

    1. Hi, Pattie. I’ve only made this with fresh corn off the cob. So I’m not sure how it’ll work with frozen corn.

    1. I personally prefer freshly made ones, because when reheated it loses its delicate crisp texture. But I’ve re-heated the leftovers in the oven too, and it works fine. I wouldn’t reheat in the microwave though, they turn out a bit soggy. Hope this helps.

    1. That’s so great to hear, Shannon. It’s definitely one of my favorites! And thank you for your feedback. 🙂
