Sweetcorn Fritters

Sweetcorn Fritters

KarenSTL rating:

5.0

I'm giving it 5 stars because I think most people will love this. I personally have gotten away from fried foods, but I made this in a regular pan (wasn't non-stick) so I used a couple of tablespoons of oil so it wouldn't stick. And it made it a bit too fried flavor for me. That said, I think anyone who likes fried foods or kids will love this. Think pancakes with corn inside. I needed a little sweetness, so I liked it better with cinnamon sugar or jelly on top, but if I had used a non-stick pan and cooking spray and added some dill, it would have made a great side dish.

Impossibly Easy French Apple Pie - Bisquick

I wish I could give this 10 stars. It's that good. And SO easy. It's a cross between a pie and a crisp. If you expect a crust like a regular pie, you'll be disappointed. But if you want a little bit of a crust under your crisp, you have to try this. I used a regular pie plate, not a deep dish, and it barely fit. But I loved the heaped results and cooked it on a baking pan in case it bubbled over (which it didn't). I followed the recipe exactly other than using a different brand of baking mix (Jiffy). Good enough for company!

I really like the ingredients and you can't go wrong with an easy pasta, so I highly recommend this dish. I did use frozen chopped spinach (about 8 oz) and soft farmer's cheese. Since the cheese isn't sweet like ricotta, I added a pinch of sugar too. Definitely easy and good. I think I'll saute up some mushrooms and imitation crab and add it to the leftovers tomorrow.

I'm not giving stars on this review because I'm not sure if it was the recipe or if my scallops were a little off, but the flavor wasn't what I expected. I'm thinking it might have been my scallops, so I'll dig this recipe out and try it again next time I have some. It was very easy, and encourage you to give it a go too.

I love charoset. It's a part of the Passover sedar (holiday dinner/service), but it's tasty enough for year round. I brought some to work with me the day after I made it and my Bosnian assistant loved it.
