Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups Fresh corn kernels (or canned)
- 1 cup All-purpose flour
- 0.5 cup Cornmeal
- 1.5 teaspoons Baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 1 tablespoon Sugar
- 2 Large eggs
- 0.5 cup Milk
- 2 tablespoons Unsalted butter, melted
- 0.25 cup Vegetable oil, for frying
- 0.25 cup Chopped scallions
- 2 tablespoons Chopped fresh cilantro or parsley (optional)
Instructions
In a large bowl, combine the flour, cornmeal, baking powder, salt, pepper, and sugar.
In a separate bowl, beat the eggs with the milk and melted butter until well blended.
Add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients and stir until just combined.
Fold in the corn kernels, chopped scallions, and cilantro or parsley, if using.
Heat the vegetable oil in a large non-stick skillet over medium heat.
Spoon about 2 tablespoons of the batter per fritter into the skillet, spacing them apart to avoid overcrowding.
Cook the fritters for about 3-4 minutes on each side or until they are golden brown and cooked through.
Transfer cooked fritters to a plate lined with paper towels to drain excess oil.
Repeat with the remaining batter, adding more oil to the skillet if necessary.
Serve warm and enjoy the crispy and flavorful corn fritters.
