Corn Fritters

Pan fried batter with sweet corn kernels....what's not to like?  This was a treat which my mother used to make as a side to steak on a Saturday. Since I can eat an entire batch myself,  my mother used to triple it and I dare say there were never leftovers, which is good because they don't keep well.
