Extra Tips for the Perfect Corn Fritters
Fresh vs. Canned Corn: Fresh corn provides a richer flavor, but canned corn is a great time-saver. Just remember to drain it well!
Crispier Texture: For an extra crispy finish, try adding a little grated Parmesan cheese to the batter.
Oil Temperature Matters: Make sure the oil is hot but not smoking—this ensures even cooking and prevents the fritters from absorbing too much oil.
Pairing Ideas: Serve with garlic aioli, spicy mayo, or a simple yogurt dip for an extra burst of flavor.
