Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups Fresh corn kernels
- 1 cup All-purpose flour
- 0.25 cup Cornmeal
- 1 teaspoon Baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
- 1 large Egg
- 0.5 cup Milk
- 2 tablespoons Green onion, finely chopped
- 0.5 cup Vegetable oil (for frying)
- Optional toppings: sour cream, hot sauce, or honey
Instructions
In a large mixing bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, cornmeal, baking powder, salt, and black pepper. Whisk together until well mixed.
Add the fresh corn kernels and chopped green onion to the dry mixture, stirring to coat them evenly.
In a separate small bowl, whisk together the egg and milk until smooth.
Pour the wet ingredients into the bowl with the dry ingredients and corn mixture. Stir until just combined, forming a thick batter. Do not overmix.
Heat the vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium heat until it shimmers.
Spoon 2-3 tablespoons of the batter for each fritter into the hot oil, flattening them slightly with the back of the spoon.
Cook the fritters for 2-3 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and crisp. Work in batches, if necessary, to avoid overcrowding the pan.
Transfer cooked fritters to a plate lined with paper towels to drain excess oil.
Serve the fritters warm with optional toppings such as sour cream, hot sauce, or honey, as desired.
