Today is National Corn Fritter Day !
I found this easy recipe on the Jiffy Mix Website last year. On a whim I decided to give this a try for the first time.I happened to have a box of Jiffy Corn Mix in the pantry from Thanksgiving. I checked the expiration date in case your wondering 🙂 I also made a quick dip to go with it…again it was what I had on hand.
I folllowed the Jiffy Mix recipe but did find I needed to make a few changes and additions:
- I added at least a cup of fzozen corn (may have even been a 1 1/2 cups)
- I also added a little chili powder to give it a kick
- I added a tablesooon of melted butter
- In the futire I would add some bell pepper (which i didnt have on hand).
To be honest I thought this would be really simple but it did take a few tries to get em’ right! Here’s the recipe I followed – I suggest making the modifications ablove!
