Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 120 g All-purpose flour
- 240 ml Sourdough discard
- 60 ml Milk
- 1 Egg
- 240 g Fresh corn kernels
- 1 tsp Baking powder
- 0.5 tsp Salt
- 1 tbsp Sugar
- 0.25 tsp Ground black pepper
- 2 tbsp Chopped chives or green onions
- 120 ml Vegetable oil (for frying)
Instructions
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the sourdough discard, milk, and egg until well combined.
Add the all-purpose flour, baking powder, salt, sugar, and ground black pepper to the wet ingredients. Mix until just combined, being careful not to overmix.
Fold in the fresh corn kernels and chopped chives (or green onions) gently into the batter.
Heat a large skillet over medium heat and add enough vegetable oil to generously coat the bottom of the pan.
Once the oil is hot, drop spoonfuls of batter (about 2 tablespoons each) into the skillet, spacing them about 1 inch apart.
Cook the fritters for 2-3 minutes on each side, or until they are golden brown and crisp. Use a spatula to gently flip them.
Remove the cooked fritters from the skillet and place them on a paper towel-lined plate to absorb excess oil.
Repeat with the remaining batter, adding more oil to the skillet as needed.
Serve the fritters warm with your favorite dipping sauce, sour cream, or a squeeze of lime.
