Happy New Year, Wonderlanders! The last two months at my house have been a whirlwind of holiday activity, and it looks like I’ll be hustling for at least two months more. My daughter’s birthday was Monday, her party is Saturday, and my son’s birthday/party are a few weeks after that. With so much to do, it was nice to take a Saturday morning and just work on an easy, yummy blog recipe. Say hello to my first recipe from Charlotte’s Web!
These corn fritters are inspired by the county fair the characters visit near the end of the story. Fritters of any kind have a fun fair food vibe, and I was already workshopping a corn fritter recipe for fun with a whole bunch of fresh corn I froze over the summer. Basically, I was just looking for an excuse to make these fritters again. Sorry not sorry! 😉
What makes them so special? Depends on who’s asking. Maybe you’re a cheese person (if so, this recipe’s got you covered). Maybe you like red pepper’s one-two punch of flavor and color. Maybe you’re like me and think all food needs massive amounts of garlic. But I think the real magic is that you can sub in whatever makes you happiest. Green onion, jalapeno, cooked shrimp, sour cream drizzle—go wherever the spirit moves you! I think my favorite addition was a sprinkling of fresh basil on top. I was out of green onion and wanted a pop of green, so I gave it a try…and OH MAN it was amazing! 😀
