There are a variety of fritters. Some contain meat while some are filled with fruits and vegetables such as zucchini, apples or bananas. Edie Petrongolo’s Corn Fritters are the perfect snack or side dish that even the children will devour.

The resident of the 1500 block of Ritner Street learned the family recipe from her sister Roe. She adds her own spin to fried batter by serving the fritters with pork chops, or alongside ham after drizzling warm maple syrup on top. SPR

Ingredients:

1 can of creamed corn
1/4 cup of sugar, or more to taste
1 teaspoon of baking powder
1 egg
1 teaspoon of vanilla
1/2 cup of flour or more
Cooking spray
Butter
Syrup, optional

Directions:

Mix all of the measurable ingredients together, adding additional flour until it is thick and similar to pancake batter.

Apply cooking spray to the bottom of the skillet and add butter. Spoon some of the batter into the pan and fry each side to a golden brown.
