Ingredients
  

Main Ingredients
  • 2 cups corn kernels (fresh or frozen) If using fresh corn, husk and remove kernels from the cob. If frozen, ensure it's thawed and drained.
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour Can substitute with whole wheat or oat flour for a healthier option.
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1/2 cup milk
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon pepper
  • Oil for frying Ensure oil is hot enough for frying.
  • Applesauce or syrup for serving

Method
 

Preparation
  1. If using fresh corn, husk and remove the kernels from the cob. If using frozen corn, ensure it’s thawed and drained.
  2. In a medium bowl, combine the corn kernels with flour, baking powder, salt, and pepper. Stir until the corn is evenly coated.
  3. In another bowl, beat the eggs and mix in the milk. Pour this mixture into the dry ingredients and combine until just mixed. Avoid over-mixing to maintain fluffiness.
Cooking
  1. In a frying pan, heat about half an inch of oil over medium heat. Test the oil’s readiness by dropping in a small spoonful of batter; if it sizzles, you’re good to go!
  2. Spoon the corn batter into the hot oil, flattening them slightly as you go. Fry until golden brown, about 3-4 minutes on each side. Remove and drain on paper towels.
Serving
  1. Corn fritters are best served hot! Pair them with applesauce or syrup for a delightful contrast.

Notes

Ensure proper oil temperature to prevent greasy fritters. Get creative by adding vegetables or herbs for additional flavor. Store leftovers in an airtight container for up to 3 days.
