Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 0.75 cup All-purpose flour
- 0.5 cup Cornmeal
- 1 teaspoon Baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 1 teaspoon Sugar
- 0.25 teaspoon Ground black pepper
- 1 large Egg
- 0.5 cup Milk
- 2 tablespoons Butter, melted
- 1 cup Canned corn kernels, drained (or fresh corn)
- 3 stalks Scallions, thinly sliced
- 0.5 cup Vegetable oil (for frying)
Instructions
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, cornmeal, baking powder, salt, sugar, and ground black pepper.
In a separate small bowl, beat the egg and then stir in the milk and melted butter.
Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir until just combined. Do not overmix; the batter should be slightly lumpy.
Fold in the corn kernels and sliced scallions, ensuring they are evenly distributed throughout the batter.
In a large skillet, heat the vegetable oil over medium heat. The oil should be shimmering but not smoking; you can test by dropping a small amount of batter into the oil—it should sizzle immediately.
Scoop about 2 tablespoons of batter per fritter and carefully drop them into the hot oil. Flatten slightly with the back of a spoon if needed.
Cook each fritter for 2-3 minutes per side, or until golden brown and crisp. Avoid overcrowding the skillet; cook in batches if necessary.
Transfer cooked fritters to a paper towel-lined plate to drain any excess oil.
Repeat with the remaining batter, adding more oil to the skillet as needed.
Serve the fritters warm with your favorite dipping sauces or as a side dish.
