Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups corn kernels (fresh, canned, or frozen)
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- 2 large eggs
- 0.5 cup milk
- 2 tablespoons scallions (finely chopped)
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 0.5 cup vegetable oil (for frying)
Instructions
In a large mixing bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, baking powder, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper. Stir well to combine.
Beat the eggs in a small bowl, then add the milk. Whisk together until fully blended.
Gradually pour the milk and egg mixture into the dry ingredients, stirring until a thick batter forms. Ensure there are no lumps.
Fold in the corn kernels and chopped scallions until evenly distributed throughout the batter.
Heat the vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium heat. The oil should be hot but not smoking.
Scoop about 2 tablespoons of batter for each fritter and carefully drop it into the hot oil. Flatten slightly with the back of the spoon to ensure even cooking.
Fry the fritters in batches, cooking each side for about 2-3 minutes or until golden brown and crispy.
Use a slotted spoon to remove the fritters and transfer them to a plate lined with paper towels to drain any excess oil.
Serve the corn fritters warm, either on their own or with a dipping sauce like sour cream, sweet chili sauce, or a drizzle of honey. Enjoy!
