Corn Fritters Day

July 16 is Corn Fritters Day. So, take out your best cooking pan, mix a batch of flour, sweet corn, eggs, and milk and whip up a batch of delicious and comforting corn fritters.

Fritters are battered and fried - deep or shallow - foods. Most cultures have their versions of fritters and one can usually have them as roadside snacks.

In the Southern United States, where they are a popular snack, corn fritters are served as a side dish with a sweet condiment - usually honey, jam, or cream.

How to Celebrate?

• Love corn fritters? Corn Fritters Day is a great excuse to have them the whole day long - for breakfast, lunch, and dinner.
• Corn fritters are very easy to make. All you need is sweet corn, flour, eggs, milk, butter, and baking powder. Mix all the ingredients in a bowl, fry them, and you have corn fritters! Don't forget to share these with your family and friends!
• Trying to be healthy? Bake instead of frying these delicious comfort food snacks.
• Experiment with different toppings that will elevate the flavor of this delicious snack.

The friend sighs. “I sent my daughter to study at the university in Lisbon, and that's what she came back with.”
