Ruby's Corn Fritters
- 1 Cup all purpose flour
- 1 teasp. baking powder
- 1/2 teasp. sea salt(may adjust to taste)
- 3/4 teasp. ground pepper
- 1 egg, lightly beaten
- 1 can whole kernel corn, including liquid
- 1/8 to 1/4 red pepper flakes (optional)
- 1/4 cup water
- vegetable oil, or preferred cooking oil
- (our family prefers fritters without the pepper flakes, but it does add a nice spark)
Combine all ingredients except oil, water, and corn (pour corn liquid into dry ingredients) in mixing bowl. When blended, add corn and enough water to create the consistency of thick pancake batter.
Heat oil in medium saucepan until drop of batter sizzles. Drop spoonfuls of batter into oil, cooking until golden brown, turning once to brown evenly. Remove to layered paper towels in a bowl or casserole dish. Serve hot. If not salty enough, try grinding a little sea salt over the top of cooked fritters.
Goes well with just about any beef dish, pork chops, use your imagination. Enjoy!
My mom began cooking these when I was a child, and now my grandchildren enjoy it as well.

Vegetable oil
- Salad dressing, condiments, cookies, crackers, chips, and mayo are high in vegetable oil
- Heart doctors recommend balancing the consumption of two fatty acid types: Omega 6 (found in vegetable oil) and Omega 3 (found in fish)
- Processed foods are high in vegetable oil so the typical U.S. citizen consumes much more vegetable oil than the body can handle
- Vegetable oil is high in omega-6 fatty acids which many doctors believe can cause chronic inflammation and lead to heart disease, diabetes, cancer, and Alzheimer's
