Sweet Corn Fritters Recipe

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

  1. 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.
  2. Add Sweet Corn:
    • Fold the sweet corn kernels and green onions into the batter until well combined.
  3. 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.
  4. 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.
  5. 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.
