Crispy Corn Fritters
Turn your fresh summer sweet corn into crisp corn fritters that are the perfect dinner, breakfast, snack or appetizer. For max crispiness, we recommend frying in a deep cast iron skillet. Drizzle or dip the fritters in a homemade Honky Tonk Hot Sauce for an extra kick of flavor and heat.
