Corn fritters cooked to a golden brown on a flat top grill.

Perfect as a standby side for camping with a little more flavor than a basic bread, corn fritters are a quick and easy side. They offer a great balance of sweet and savory which is partly why they are so versatile. 

The key ingredient is canned cream corn which is the perfect emergency backup food for camping. This recipe uses an egg, but it can be made without if they are unavailable.

The uses of these are endless and can replace bread, pancakes, or even rolls in many meals. They can even be made small and have toppings added and then served as finger food.

    Picky kid loved these. Adding salt wasn’t necessary since the canned corn had enough. And I premixed all-purpose flour and baking powder in place of the self-rising kind. We went the syrup route this time, but I will also try as a savory food. Great camping fare.
