Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups Fresh corn kernels
- 1 cup All-purpose flour
- 0.5 cup Cornmeal
- 1.5 teaspoons Baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
- 0.5 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 2 large Eggs
- 0.5 cup Unsweetened almond milk
- 0.25 cup Chopped green onions
- 0.25 cup Chopped fresh cilantro
- for frying Vegetable oil
Instructions
In a large bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, cornmeal, baking powder, salt, black pepper, and garlic powder.
In a separate bowl, beat the eggs and then mix in the unsweetened almond milk until well combined.
Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and mix until just combined. Do not overmix; a few lumps are okay.
Gently fold in the corn kernels, green onions, and cilantro until spread evenly throughout the batter.
Heat about 1/4 inch of vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium heat. The oil is ready when a small drop of batter sizzles upon contact.
Scoop 1/4 cup of fritter batter into the skillet, spreading it out slightly to form a flat circle. Cook for about 2-3 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and cooked through.
Remove the fritters from the skillet and place them on a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil.
Repeat the process with the remaining batter, adding more oil to the skillet as needed.
Serve the fritters warm with your favorite dipping sauce or a squeeze of lime.
