Rosie Tries Her Hand Again At Corn Fritters.

Last month, Amy from New Jersey Just Asked Rosie for corn fritters. I made several different types, but this is another one of those evolving dishes for me. So I gave corn fritters another shot the other day.
They do look good, don't they?
My mise en place: 1 egg 1/2 cup buttermilk 1 cup flour 2 teaspoons baking powder 1 teaspoon salt 2 cups corn kernels (I used fresh since Good Neighbor Bobby had just brought me a big bag of corn from Currituck.)
And some parsley, chives, an Anaheim pepper from the garden, and about 1/3 onion.
I chopped the onion, chives, parsley, and pepper and added all to the corn.
For the batter, I whisked together the buttermilk and egg.
Then added the flour, baking soda, and salt.
And finally the corn mixture.
Mix until fully combined.
Then I dropped the corn fritters by melon baller into hot oil.
And here are my yummy little corn fritters. Good, quick, simple. I wrapped the leftovers in plastic and stuck them in the door of the fridge. When I went to retrieve the fritters to heat up the next day, the plastic was where I put it and there was a crumb of fritter the size of the tip of my little pinkie finger wrapped in it. I guess the Hawthornelets know their limits. These were good, as were the other fritters, but now I'm on a mission to create the ultimate corn fritter. I know I can do it. It will take practice and determination. And possibly some corn meal. So stay tuned for mo' better fritters

Don't you mean lemon baller?

Now I need to try to make some corn fritters.

Curse You, Rosie Hawthorne!

Rosie Hawthorne said...

Why yes, Marilyn.
My bad.

Actually, what I meant to say was that I got my "lemon baler" out of storage.

You are both forgetting the importance of 'Yoda speak' in the kitchen.

Correct are you, Hairball.

Try I will to better myself explain.

You, I thank.
