Instructions: * Instead of canned corn, 2 cups fresh or frozen corn can be substituted.

The original recipe does call for canned corn, as fritters were considered a winter dish. And this recipe is much older than frozen technology.

In a mixing bowl, beat the eggs until light. Add the milk (or corn liquid mixed with water), and butter; blend. Stir in the corn and mix thoroughly.

Add the dry ingredients and mix just until moistened.

Heat 2 inches of oil in an electric skillet or deep-fryer to 350-degreesF.

Drop the batter into the oil by tablespoonfuls and fry 2 to 3 minutes on each side or until nicely browned. Drain on paper towel and sprinkle with powdered sugar. Serve with maple syrup.
