It’s National Corn Fritter Day! These tasty southern treats can be summarized in three words: fried, yellow goodness. 

Corn fritters are savory bites of fried or baked corn batter—a mixture of corn, egg, flour, milk and melted butter. These treats can be eaten alone, served as a side or enjoyed with syrup, powdered sugar or jam. Though corn fritters originated in the South, many fritter varieties exist worldwide. For example, Asian-style fritters are often prepared with vegetables and a spicy sauce.
