Fritter is a type of fried corn cake that is made from a batter of cornmeal, flour, eggs, milk, and sugar. It is then deep-fried in oil until golden brown and served as a side dish or snack. Fritters are popular in many cultures around the world, including the United States, where they are often served with syrup or honey. They can also be served with a variety of other toppings, such as jam, jelly, or fruit.
