Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 0.5 cup cornmeal
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1 tablespoon sugar
- 0.5 teaspoon ground paprika
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
- 0.75 cup milk
- 1 unit large egg
- 2 tablespoons butter, melted and cooled
- 1 cup sweet corn kernels (fresh, frozen, or canned)
- 2 tablespoons green onions, finely chopped
- 2 cups vegetable oil (for frying)
Instructions
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, cornmeal, baking powder, sugar, ground paprika, salt, and black pepper.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the milk, egg, and melted butter until well combined.
Gradually pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients, stirring until just combined. Do not overmix.
Fold in the sweet corn kernels and chopped green onions until evenly distributed throughout the batter.
Heat the vegetable oil in a deep skillet or heavy-bottomed pot over medium-high heat until it reaches 350°F (175°C).
Using a small cookie scoop or spoon, carefully drop dollops of batter (about 1 to 1.5 tablespoons each) into the hot oil. Do not overcrowd the pot.
Fry the fritters for 2 to 3 minutes on each side, or until they are golden brown and cooked through. Use a slotted spoon to transfer them to a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil.
Repeat with the remaining batter, ensuring the oil maintains the right temperature.
Serve the corn ball fritters warm with a dipping sauce of your choice, such as spicy mayo or ranch dressing. Enjoy!
