Corn fritters are a savory and slightly sweet dish made from a batter typically consisting of corn kernels, flour, eggs, milk, and seasonings. Originating from Southern U.S. cuisine, these golden, crisp snacks are traditionally deep-fried or pan-fried, offering a delightful crunch with bursts of natural corn flavor. Some variations incorporate additional ingredients like cheese, herbs, or spices for extra flavor. Corn fritters are a source of dietary fiber due to the corn, and they provide essential nutrients like vitamin C, B vitamins, and antioxidants. However, their nutritional profile varies depending on preparation methods. Fried versions are higher in calories and fat, which can impact heart health if consumed excessively. For a lighter option, they can be baked or shallow-fried. Corn fritters are a versatile dish, often enjoyed as a side, appetizer, or even breakfast with toppings like honey or syrup.
