Corn Fritters
Print recipe
Ingredients
- 2 cups corn (1 ear will generally yield one cup)
- 1/2 cup flour
- 1/2 cup cornmeal
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 2 teaspoons kosher salt (if using table salt use 1 tsp)
- 1 Large egg (beaten)
- 1 cup milk
- 1 tablespoon butter (melted)
- oil for frying (Use neutral oil like safflower, or canola)
- 1 tablespoon sugar (optional, if making savory fritters omit this)
Directions
| Step 1 | |
 Im one bowl mix dry ingredients together with a wisk | |
| Step 2 | |
 Mix egg, milk, melted butter together, and after making a well in the center of the dry ingredients, pour wet ingredients in, and mix just until combined Stir in corn Do not overmix | |
| Step 3 | |
 Heat about 1/2" of oil in a wide frying pan When oil is shimmering test it with a chopstick; when you put the tip of the chopstick into the oil it should bubble up around the stick, if that happens the oil is ready | |
| Step 4 | |
|
Using a 1/3 cup measure as a scoop, drop the batter into the oil, spreading just a bit so the oil comes halfway up the fritter Reduce heat to medium | |
| Step 5 | |
|
Fry until,edges are starting to brown, then gently flip each fritter, I use my chopstick to help me turn them with a spatula, so they don't splash into the oil Continue frying the second side until that is browned as well They should be done, but you can test them with a toothpick like you would a cake, if it come out clean the fritter is done | |
| Step 6 | |
| Drain fritters on paper towels. If you are making this for a crowd keep them warm on a oven safe plate in a 200 degree oven, loosely covered with a dishtowel | |
| Step 7 | |
| Serve with topping of your choice, sour cream and snipped chives, maple syrup, peach or blueberry jam etc. | |
