Amish Corn Fritters

Amish Corn Fritters are a delightful treat that captures the essence of traditional home cooking—simple, hearty, and full of flavor. These golden, pan-fried fritters are crisp on the outside with a tender, slightly sweet interior packed with sweet corn and a touch of onion. They’re versatile enough to be served as a side dish, afternoon snack, or even a comforting breakfast addition.

Rooted in Amish culinary tradition, these fritters rely on humble, pantry-friendly ingredients and straightforward preparation. The batter is quickly mixed and spooned into a hot skillet where it sizzles into golden perfection. Each bite offers a satisfying contrast between the soft corn and the crisp outer shell.

The beauty of this recipe is its adaptability. You can use fresh corn when in season, or keep things easy with frozen kernels year-round. Onion lends a savory balance to the natural sweetness of the corn, while a touch of black pepper provides subtle warmth. Frying them in a shallow layer of oil results in perfectly crisp edges without deep-frying.
