Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups Corn kernels
- 1 cup All-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon Baking powder
- 1 large Egg
- 0.5 cup Milk
- 2 stalks Green onions, chopped
- 2 tablespoons Fresh cilantro, chopped
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper, freshly ground
- 0.5 cup Vegetable oil (for frying)
- 0.5 cup Sweet chili sauce (store-bought or homemade)
Instructions
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, salt, and black pepper.
In a separate small bowl, beat the egg and milk together until well combined.
Slowly pour the wet mixture into the dry ingredients, stirring until the batter is smooth and free of lumps.
Fold in the corn kernels, chopped green onions, and chopped cilantro until evenly incorporated.
Heat the vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium heat. The oil should be hot but not smoking.
Using a tablespoon, drop spoonfuls of the batter into the skillet, leaving enough space between each fritter to avoid overcrowding.
Cook the fritters for 2-3 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and crisp. Use a slotted spatula to flip them carefully.
Remove the cooked fritters and transfer them to a plate lined with paper towels to drain any excess oil.
Serve the corn fritters warm with sweet chili sauce on the side for dipping.
