I love corn fritters and have tried dozens of recipes through the years, but this is my go-to. It's a combination of several recipes that you can make into flatter corn oysters by adding a touch more milk and pan frying in shallow oil or make into rounder corn fritters by deep frying.
1 cup self-rising flour
2 eggs
1/2 cup milk
2 cups corn (I typically use frozen that I cook first.)
1/2 tsp salt
Pepper to taste (I typically use four or five grinds of my pepper mill, but I've never measured it.)
Just combine everything but the corn in a bowl and mix thoroughly. Then add the corn. If you want a flatter, thinner, more corn oyster type of fritter, add slightly more milk (emphasis on slightly just a tablespoon or two is often enough) to make a more watery dough (well milkier in this case) and fry in a pan with a 1/2" or so of oil heated to 350-375. If you want a more round, doughnut-type fritter, stick to the original recipe and deep fry it in two to three inches of oil at 350-375. Let them get golden on one side and then flip or roll if they don't roll by themselves. (The rounder ones you deep fry tend to self-flip, but sometimes you have to help them a bit.)
I just drain them on paper towels and give them a light shake of salt when done, and eat them. Some people use powdered sugar on them. I don't. It depends on what you like. This is the best overall recipe I've ever used. It's a combination of several "almost there" recipes that I've used and takes the best (and easiest) parts of them. I no longer try anything else, so that tells you how happy I am with this recipe. There are some very involved recipes out there that require separating eggs, whipping the whites, and then folding everything together. I like this one better. I can throw everything together in a blink, and they're very, very good. Good luck!
