Tips

• For extra flavor, add a pinch of cayenne pepper to the batter.
• Drain fritters on paper towels after frying to remove excess oil.
• Use fresh herbs like parsley or chives for added zing.
• If using frozen corn, make sure it's thawed and patted dry before mixing.
• For a lighter option, bake at 400°F for 12-15 minutes instead of frying.

Storage

Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days. Reheat in a warm oven to maintain crispiness.
