Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups Fresh corn kernels (or frozen corn, thawed)
- 1 cup All-purpose flour
- 2 tablespoons Cornstarch
- 1 teaspoon Baking powder
- 1 tablespoon Granulated sugar
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Ground black pepper
- 2 pieces Large eggs
- 0.5 cup Whole milk
- 2 stalks Scallions, thinly sliced
- 1 cup Vegetable oil (for frying)
Instructions
In a large mixing bowl, combine the flour, cornstarch, baking powder, sugar, salt, and black pepper.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the eggs and milk until well combined.
Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir until a smooth batter forms. Be careful not to overmix.
Fold the corn kernels and sliced scallions into the batter until evenly distributed.
Heat the vegetable oil in a large skillet or frying pan over medium heat. The oil should be about 350°F (175°C).
Spoon about 2 tablespoons of the batter into the hot oil for each fritter, flattening slightly with the back of the spoon.
Fry the fritters for 2-3 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and crispy. Work in batches to avoid overcrowding the pan.
Use a slotted spoon to transfer the fritters to a plate lined with paper towels to drain any excess oil.
Serve the sweet corn fritters warm with your choice of dip, such as sour cream, spicy mayo, or a sweet chili sauce.
