Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups Fresh corn kernels (or canned, drained)
- 0.75 cups All-purpose flour
- 0.25 cups Cornmeal
- 1 teaspoons Baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoons Salt
- 0.25 teaspoons Black pepper
- 2 large Eggs
- 0.25 cups Milk
- 2 tablespoons Unsalted butter, melted
- 1.5 cups Vegetable oil (for frying)
Instructions
In a large mixing bowl, combine the flour, cornmeal, baking powder, salt, and black pepper. Whisk to mix evenly.
In a separate bowl, lightly beat the eggs, then whisk in the milk and melted butter.
Add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients and stir until just combined. Avoid overmixing.
Fold in the corn kernels, ensuring they are evenly distributed throughout the batter.
Heat the vegetable oil in a large skillet or deep pan over medium heat until it reaches 350°F (175°C). Test the oil by dropping a small bit of batter in—if it sizzles and rises to the surface, the oil is ready.
Using a spoon or small cookie scoop, carefully drop spoonfuls of the batter into the hot oil, being cautious not to overcrowd the pan.
Fry the fritters for about 2-3 minutes per side, or until they are golden brown and crispy. Use a slotted spoon to transfer them to a plate lined with paper towels to drain excess oil.
Repeat the frying process until all the batter is used.
Serve the Corn Oysters warm with your favorite dipping sauce or as a side dish. Enjoy!
