• (If using sifted flour, you can just mix the dry ingredients together well and still get excellent results).
• Add the melted butter or margarine (or oil) and beat or stir briskly by hand until well blended.
• Stir or fold in the corn until evenly distributed.
• Drop by tablespoons into hot deep fat (375 degrees) and cook until golden brown.
• Drain on paper towels.
• Place on plates and dust with confectioner's sugar if desired. These are best if served with maple syrup.
• Notes: I usually try one first.
• If I find the oil is bubbling through the fritter, which would make it too greasy, I'll add a little more flour to the batter to prevent that.
• Also, as a shortcut, instead of deep frying, I usually pour 2 or 3 inches of oil into a large saucepan or electric frying pan and fry that way.
• When one side is brown, I just turn and brown the other side.
