Your Children Will Love Their Vegetables When You Learn How To Make Corn Fritters
Disguising vegetables may be the only way you can get your kids to eat them. One of our favorite ways to turn an ordinary vegetable into a tasty treat is by making Corn Fritters. Even though we struggle getting our kids to eat corn, it seems this treat is a winner every time.
An easy Corn Fritters recipe that requires just a few ingredients is important when you\’re trying to get a balanced meal served. No matter what you\’re serving for dinner, if you can quickly make a batch of Corn Fritters you can round out a meal for your little finicky eater.
Once you learn the basics of how to make Corn Fritters, the rest is easy. You\’ll want either a good heavy skillet or a deep fryer. A thermometer may come in handy, but you can also test the oil by dropping a little bit of batter in to make sure it sizzles before you begin frying an entire batch. Don\’t crowd the pan with too many fritters or the temperature will drop and the fritters will get soggy and greasy. Use a good \”high heat\” frying oil like peanut oil, sunflower oil, or safflower oil. Be sure the oil comes up about half way on the fritters in the skillet. Follow the manufacturers guide if you\’re using a deep fryer.
Even though there are many ways for making Corn Fritters, all the recipes have corn as one of the main ingredients. Whether you use corn on the cob during the summer, or frozen corn, creamed corn, or canned whole kernel corn, it doesn\’t matter. You\’ll just be adjusting the recipe to take into account the amount of liquid to add to make your batter.
The ingredient most likely used in a Corn Fritters recipe to bind the corn together will be flour. You may also like to use a pancake mix, muffin mix, or cornmeal. Or, you may want to combine these ingredients together and come up with your own unique blend.
Another option to add to your Corn Fritters recipe is an egg. You may not need to add an egg to hold your batter together, but many people prefer this method for the added nutrition. It won\’t hurt to add an egg even to a recipe that doesn\’t call for one.
As far as the flavors go, the skies the limit. You can add herbs, garlic, seasonings, onion, or even cheese. Some recipes call for sugar which can change the whole idea of the Corn Fritter from a vegetable to a dessert. Put a little honey alongside the fritters and watch your finicky kids devour their vegetables without a blink!
Disguising corn is only one way you can get your kids to eat their vegetables. Consider a variety of vegetables that you can turn into tasty fritters. Try a mixture of carrots, cauliflower, and other vegetables, chop them up, and turn them into \”Vegetable Medley Fritters\” for a change.
