Introduction:
Golden and crispy on the outside, soft and sweet on the inside—sweet corn fritters are a crowd-pleaser! Whether you’re hosting a party or craving a quick snack, these fritters are the perfect solution. Let’s get frying!
Ingredients
- 1 cup sweet corn kernels (fresh or canned, drained)
- 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
- 1/4 cup cornmeal
- 1 large egg, beaten
- 1/4 cup milk
- 2 tablespoons green onions, finely chopped
- 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
- Salt and black pepper to taste
- Vegetable oil for frying
- Optional: Sour cream or sweet chili sauce for serving
Instructions
- Mix the Batter:
- In a mixing bowl, combine flour, cornmeal, baking powder, salt, and black pepper.
- Stir in beaten egg and milk to form a thick batter.
- Add Sweet Corn:
- Fold the sweet corn kernels and green onions into the batter until well combined.
- Heat the Oil:
- Heat vegetable oil in a frying pan over medium heat. Test the oil by dropping a small bit of batter; it should sizzle.
- Fry the Fritters:
- Scoop tablespoon-sized portions of batter into the hot oil. Flatten slightly with the back of the spoon.
- Fry for 2–3 minutes on each side or until golden brown and crispy.
- Drain and Serve:
- Remove fritters and drain on a paper towel. Serve warm with your choice of dipping sauce.
Tips for Perfection:
- For a cheesy twist, mix in 1/4 cup shredded cheddar cheese.
- Prefer a spicier kick? Add a pinch of cayenne pepper or diced jalapeños to the batter.
