Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1.5 cups Corn kernels
- 0.5 cup Whole wheat flour
- 0.5 cup Cornmeal
- 1 teaspoon Baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
- 0.5 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 0.25 cup Chopped green onions
- 0.75 cup Low-fat milk
- 1 whole Large egg
- 1 tablespoon Olive oil
Instructions
In a large mixing bowl, combine the whole wheat flour, cornmeal, baking powder, salt, black pepper, and garlic powder. Stir well to blend the dry ingredients.
Add the corn kernels and chopped green onions to the dry mixture and toss to coat them evenly.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the low-fat milk and egg until well combined.
Pour the milk and egg mixture into the dry ingredients, stirring gently until all components are just combined. Avoid overmixing to keep the fritters light.
Heat the olive oil in a large non-stick skillet over medium heat.
Once the skillet is hot, drop spoonfuls of the batter (about 2 tablespoons per fritter) into the skillet, leaving space between each fritter.
Cook the fritters for 3-4 minutes on each side or until they are golden brown and crispy on the outside.
Transfer the cooked fritters to a plate lined with paper towels to drain any excess oil.
Serve the fritters warm, garnished with additional green onions if desired.
