Description
Fritters are an absolute delight—crispy on the outside, tender on the inside, and bursting with sweet corn goodness. This recipe offers a balance of flavors, but fear not, you can adjust the sugar to suit your palate. While traditionally these gems are deep-fried, you can also opt for a skillet with just enough oil to cover the bottom for a slightly lighter version.
