Perfect Crispy Corn Fritters
Delicious, crispy corn fritters made easily with fresh or frozen corn, perfect for appetizers or snacks.
Ingredients
For the Fritters
- 2 cups Fresh or frozen corn (If using frozen, thaw first)
- 1 cup All-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon Baking powder
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- ½ teaspoon Black pepper
- 1 large Egg
- ½ cup Milk
- ¼ cup Green onions, chopped (optional for extra flavor)
- Vegetable oil For frying
Instructions
Preparation
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the flour, baking powder, salt, and black pepper. Stir well to combine.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together the egg and milk until smooth.
- Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients. Carefully fold in the corn and green onions (if using). You want it mixed, but don’t overdo it—lumps are good!
- In a frying pan, heat about ¼ inch of oil over medium-high heat.
Cooking
- When the oil is hot, drop spoonfuls of the batter into the pan. Fry until the fritters are golden brown on one side—about 3-4 minutes. Flip them and repeat until both sides are crispy.
- Remove the fritters and let them drain on a paper towel. Serve warm with your favorite dipping sauce!
Notes
Don’t overmix the batter; some lumps are good to maintain texture. Ensure the oil is hot before frying; test it by dropping a small piece of batter—if it sizzles, it’s ready. Feel free to experiment with different herbs or spices for additional flavor!
