Learn how to make corn fritters at home.
Ingredients
- 1 cup all-purpose/plain flour 120g
- 1 tsp. baking powder 5g
- 1/4 tsp. salt 1g
- 3 tbsp. white granulated sugar 45g You can reduce it if you like. Especially for savory ones.
- 1 large egg
- 1/2 cup of milk whole, 2%, 1%, Almond, etc.
- 1 tbsp. butter melted (14g)
- 15 oz can of whole kernel corn or kernels cut from fresh corn on the cob, drained 432g
- Oil for frying vegetable, canola, coconut, peanut, shortening, lard
Instructions
- Fill a large pot about an inch deep with cooking oil and set the burner to medium-high. Bring the temp up to 350 F/176 C.
- In a medium bowl whisk together the flour, baking powder, salt, and white granulated sugar.
- Now in a large bowl beat an egg with a whisk. Then pour in the milk and melt the butter just until barely melted, in the microwave or in a small pot on the stovetop, and pour that in. Whisk to combine. Next, add the flour mixture and stir with a wooden spoon or silicone spoon until well combined. The consistency will be fairly thick.
- Drain the can of corn and pour it into the batter, stir and fold to combine. The corn fritter batter is ready to go. Easy right?
- Use two spoons and scoop some batter into the hot oil. Add a few more, but don't overcrowd them in the pot. Fry them for a few minutes per side until golden brown. Remove them from the oil with a spider strainer or metal slotted spoon or tongs, and place on a plate with a paper towel or wire rack. You may need to wait and allow the oil to heat back up to temp before frying another batch.
- Or use a skillet with about 1/4 inch deep oil, and with medium-high heat pan fry the fritters. Flatten them out a bit in the skillet with this method.
- Now eat them however you like, with maple syrup, powdered sugar, or as a savory side dish. Enjoy!
