Today is National Corn Fritters Day, National Personal Chef Day, and National Fresh Spinach Day!
What is a Corn Fritter? These tasty treats are deep fried, pan fried, or baked. Recipes often include corn meal mix, flour, sugar, salt, milk, eggs, butter, corn & vegetable oil.

These savory bites of fried or baked corn batter can be eaten alone, served as a side, or enjoy with a topping like syrup, powered sugar, jam or jelly.

Although the origins of this "national holiday" are unknown, fritters originated in the Deep South. Many other cultures have come up with similar dishes. In Asia, "pakoras", vegetables dipped in batter and deep fried are a popular snack.
