Expert Tips

• 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.
• Drain Corn – For best results make sure to drain corn before combining with the other ingredients.

How to Make Indoor Fritters

Combine the Corn Fritters ingredients as indicated in the recipe. If cooking indoors, we like to cook in a cast iron skillet as it the results are similar to cooking on a griddle.

After heating the cast iron skillet with vegetable oil, scoop a portion of the mixture. Then pour into a heated skillet and then cook for about 5 minutes on each side.

Cooking indoors is just as delicious as if you cooked on the Blackstone.
