Jiffy Corn Fritters
These Jiffy Corn Fritters are golden, crispy on the outside, and bursting with sweet corn on the inside, these little fritters are the kind of snack that disappears from the plate before you can even sit down.
These are proof that you do not need a long ingredient list to make something absolutely delicious. With just a handful of pantry staples and a box of corn muffin mix as your shortcut, you get golden, crispy bites in under 30 minutes. They are wonderfully versatile, working just as well as a quick snack, a party appetizer, or a fun side for your favorite barbecue plate.
Helpful Tips
- Watch your oil temperature: Keep the oil at a steady 350°F using a thermometer, since oil that is too cool will make the fritters greasy and oil that is too hot will burn the outside before the inside cooks through.
- Drain the corn well: Shaking off any excess liquid from the canned corn before mixing keeps your batter from becoming too wet, which helps the fritters hold their shape in the oil.
- Fry in small batches: Adding too many fritters to the skillet at once drops the oil temperature and leads to uneven browning, so give them room to fry properly.
