Corn Fritters

This is a recipe I tried, wanted to post last week but I got sucked into "it's the last week of school" vortex.  The minutes, hours and days just slipped away and before I knew it, it was the weekend.  It's OK though, because it was more fun than not. Yea...school IS OUT!
With a beautiful roast in the crock pot and a green salad in the fridge, I needed a little something else to go along with my dinner menu.  I shopped my freezer, decided on corn, and finally, just needed a recipe.  I pulled out one of my favorite cookbooks, How to Cook Everything by Mark Bittman and started my search.  I saw this recipe and started gathering my ingredients.  Making these fritters filled the house with great smells, thus this Facebook comment I posted ~
Tonight, cooking dinner, my guys come in... "MOM, what is that smell, are you fixing donuts? What's for dinner? What are we having?" I turn & with my sweet Mama smile say, "we are having a lovely roast and that incredible smell is from the corn fritters I just made." After that...it was GAME ON! Hope I can save enough for the beauty shot tomorrow and recipe post!!
As you can tell, I did not get any other photos.  Oh well, everyone loved the fritters and this is new favorite in my "go-to" recipe list.  Enjoy!
