If your corn fritters are soggy, it is possible that your oil is not enough. You want to make sure that your oil is hot enough and you are not cooking to many fritters at once.

This will result in crispy fritters if the oil is hot.

Tips for the Best Corn Fritters:

Deep Frying Fritters – Cook fritters until each side golden brown. You want to make sure the griddle is hot and has been oiled. This will help to prevent the fritters from sticky and will have a crispy texture.
After Cooking Fritters – After cooking the corn fritters, place on a paper towel lined platter. This allows the paper towels to soak up in remaining oil from the corn fritters.

Substitutions and Additions:

Corn – You can use any type of corn to mix in. You can use frozen corn, fresh corn or corn on the cob. You can also use canned corn.
Topping – Top the corn fritters with sour cream and green onion. You can also serve as a side dish for delicious flavor.
