Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups Fresh corn kernels (or canned, drained)
- 4 stalks Scallions (green onions), finely chopped
- 1 cup All-purpose flour
- 0.5 cup Cornmeal
- 1 teaspoon Baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
- 2 large Eggs, beaten
- 0.33 cup Whole milk
- 2 tablespoons Unsalted butter, melted
- 0.25 cup Vegetable oil (for frying)
Instructions
In a large mixing bowl, combine the flour, cornmeal, baking powder, salt, and black pepper. Whisk to combine.
Add the corn kernels and chopped scallions to the dry ingredients. Toss lightly to distribute evenly.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, and melted butter.
Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients. Mix gently until just combined. Do not overmix; the batter should be slightly thick but not too stiff.
Heat the vegetable oil in a large skillet or frying pan over medium heat. The oil should be hot but not smoking.
Scoop about 2 tablespoons of batter for each fritter and gently place it in the skillet. Flatten slightly with the back of a spoon.
Cook the fritters for 2-3 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and crisp. Work in batches if necessary, and add more oil if needed between batches.
Once the fritters are cooked, transfer them to a plate lined with paper towels to drain any excess oil.
Serve the fritters warm with your favorite dipping sauce or a dollop of sour cream.
