Corn fritters are very popular in Cuba. They are made from tender corn, although there are also recipes using dry corn flour.

This is a recipe with tricks so you don't fail in your attempt to eat corn fritters.

Method

Let the ground tender corn rest so it settles and separates the liquid it releases; keep the dense part.
Beat the egg.
Mix the dense corn with the sugar, garlic, salt and beaten egg.
Heat plenty of oil until it is very hot.
Add the mixture to the oil by small spoonfuls and fry until golden.
If you notice they are falling apart, add 1 tablespoon of wheat flour to the mixture, stir well and fry again in very hot oil.
