My deep love for eating fresh corn of the cob is one of my top five favorite things I love about a Midwest summer. There are no fresh berries or tomatoes that could make me nearly as excited as I get for fresh local corn. I grew up with a cornfield literally in my backyard so it’s no surprise that this super sweet treat has a special place in my heart. And my favorite way to enjoy it? Grilled on the cob is fantastic, as is baked into a custard-y pudding but, to me, nothing tops the cheesy corn fritter. There is something about the way the sweet corn kernels, still warm from being fried in olive oil, pop with flavor as you bite into the fritter that will forever be irrisistable to me.
I decided to keep these corn fritters pretty basic, because why mess with something that is already so perfect, but did add a healthy dose of chopped basil for some extra herb-y flavor. I also whipped up a batch of hot honey butter which melts all over the warm fritter to give an extra sweet and spicy punch of flavor to these hot cakes. You can use whatever hot sauce you have on hand and I’d recommend keeping it out so whoever you are feeding these to can decide if they’d like to add a bit more heat at the end.
These corn fritters should feed 4 if you serve them with a light salad but I will admit I’m so addicted to these that Wyatt and I ate almost the whole batch between the 2 of us in one sitting. I did save a few by storing them in an airtight container in the fridge and they crisped right back up the next day after being reheated in a 350 degree oven for 10 or so minutes.
