Corn fritters or corn cakes, as I like to call them because I tend to use less oil and therefore they look more like a pancake than a fried fritter. A savoury addition to almost any meal; that may be dressed up in many ways by adding chopped green onions, cilantro, jalapeño peppers, bacon and different herbs and seasonings. I enjoy serving them with spicy salsa however adding a dab of sour cream would not go a miss or maple syrup for a touch of sweetness. These unadulterated and uncomplicated corn fritters are pure bliss.
