Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups fresh corn kernels
- 1 cup gluten-free all-purpose flour
- 1 cup cornmeal
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1 tablespoon sugar
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon ground black pepper
- 2 large eggs
- 0.75 cup milk
- 2 tablespoons chives, chopped
- 0.5 cup vegetable oil
Instructions
In a large mixing bowl, combine the gluten-free all-purpose flour, cornmeal, baking powder, sugar, salt, and ground black pepper. Stir well to ensure the baking powder is evenly distributed.
In a separate bowl, beat the eggs and then add the milk. Whisk together until fully combined.
Pour the wet ingredients into the bowl with the dry ingredients. Mix gently until just combined. Do not overmix to preserve the fluffiness.
Fold in the corn kernels and chopped chives. Ensure the corn is evenly distributed throughout the batter.
Heat the vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium heat. The oil should be hot but not smoking.
For each fritter, scoop about 1/4 cup of batter and carefully drop it into the hot oil. Flatten the batter gently with the back of a spoon to form even patties.
Cook the fritters for 3-4 minutes on each side, or until they are golden brown and crispy.
Once cooked, transfer the fritters to a plate lined with paper towels to drain any excess oil.
Serve the gluten-free corn fritters warm, with your favorite dipping sauce or a dollop of sour cream.
