Got corn coming out of your ears? Then you're probably looking for some corny recipes! I had a lot of fun making these fritters…

Corn fritters

 These fritters could be served with just about anything. They'd be great as a little starter with crab or shirmp or as a side for pork, chicken, or fish. Throw in some scallions or peppers into the batter to spice it up a bit.
