Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 0.5 cup cornmeal
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1 tablespoon granulated sugar
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon ground black pepper
- 0.75 cup whole milk
- 2 large eggs
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
- 1.5 cups fresh or frozen corn kernels
- 0.5 cup vegetable oil (for frying)
- 0.5 cup Vermont maple syrup
Instructions
In a large bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, cornmeal, baking powder, sugar, salt, and black pepper.
In a separate medium bowl, combine the milk, eggs, and melted butter. Whisk until smooth and well combined.
Gradually pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients, mixing gently with a spatula until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
Fold in the corn kernels, ensuring an even distribution throughout the batter.
Heat the vegetable oil in a large skillet or frying pan over medium heat. The oil should be about 1/4 inch deep.
Spoon approximately 2 tablespoons of the batter per fritter into the hot oil, flattening slightly with the back of the spoon to form a round shape.
Fry each fritter for 2-3 minutes per side, or until golden brown and crispy. Work in batches to avoid overcrowding the pan.
Remove the fritters from the skillet and place them on a plate lined with paper towels to drain excess oil.
Serve the fritters warm, drizzled generously with Vermont maple syrup.
