  1. Had some ears of corn and I usually use recipe from Joy of Cooking but wasn’t happy with the pancake like texture . Scrolling through recipes and watching lots of videos to look for the ultimate corn fritter recipe. Can always rely on Test Kitchen for the answer to our prayers .

  2. Now I understand the first creaming of some of the corn. I will try with creamed corn….then cook to reduce the moisture(follow your minimal flour info). Like u, I want crispy fritters. I wanna do it better…..the first time. Glad I saw your explanations of the…..science behind the fritters. We eat mainly veggies so tasty and nutritious is greatly valued!! I watch your shows on CreateTV and on PBS in the USA!! I am gratefully subscribed!!! Ahna USA

  3. This recipe is beautiful BUT bland. I used frozen corn ( off season here.) I had to tweak the recipe by adding extra salt, flour, pepper flakes, and some shrimp. I also subbed chives with green onions.

    Despite that, this recipe has potential. I imagine once I perfect this dish to my taste, it will be a wonderful side dish with salmon or tilapia. 😄

    I know the chef made a dipping sauce, but I am bypassing that. It is my personal preference.

  4. These look so tasty with that concentrated flavor, can't wait to try them! I also love that sweet corn cake/ scoopable pudding some people call it. I see it used on the side of some Mexican meat dishes , I'd love to see a recipe like that as well! Sweet and spicy is always good together. Thank you for everything you do! It is greatly appreciated 😍

  5. I made these yesterday and they were excellent. I didn't put the parmesan in though. I just couldn't do it but I added a little extra salt instead. My boyfriend loved them too and likes them better than the pancake kind. Don't forget to put confectioners sugar on top. Thank You for the recipe!

  6. You need to scrape the corn cobs with a knife and get all the milky juice out of it……and don't puree the corn, this is not the right way the Southerns do it….. you also can use canned corn or frozen corn, but drain well……add some parsley for color,,,can add some thinly sliced green onion or chopped fine yellow onion…..can add a few shakes of garlic powder and a little hot sauce for flavor…..try it…..

  7. Who the heck is going to go through this convoluted process in order to make a friggin corn fritter? Parmesan cheese and cayenne in a corn fritter….give me a break. These people have too much time on their hands.
