Notes
Make-Ahead: You can make these up to 30 minutes ahead of time by keeping them warm on a rack over a sheet pan in the oven at 200° F.How to Store: Cover the corn fritters and keep them in the refrigerator for up to 4 days. These will freeze well covered for up to 3 months. Thaw them in the refrigerator for 1 day before reheating.How to Reheat: Add the desired number of corn fritters to a rack over a sheet pan and bake at 350° for 4-6 minutes or until hot.The batter before adding in the corn should be like a very thick pancakeYou can also add things like jalapeños, onions, and garlic to the fritters to enhance the flavor.Another finishing topping would be to add honey or molasses to the top of the corn fritters.Feel free to fry these in a pot of oil and keep them more round, similar to my apple fritters.
