Ingredients
Ingredients
- 2 cups Fresh Sweet Corn Can substitute with canned or frozen corn.
- 1 cup All-purpose Flour
- 1 teaspoon Baking Powder
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 1 pinch Black Pepper Adjust according to taste.
- 1 large Egg
- 1/2 cup Milk
- 1/4 cup Chopped Green Onions
- 1/4 cup Cooking Oil Vegetable or canola oil recommended.
Instructions
- Start by preparing the corn. If using fresh corn, carefully cut the kernels off the cob. Ensure you have around 2 cups of corn. If using canned or frozen corn, drain and thaw them as needed. Set the corn aside.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine 1 cup of all-purpose flour, 1 teaspoon of baking powder, 1 teaspoon of salt, and a pinch of black pepper. Whisk these dry ingredients together until they are well combined.
- In a separate bowl, crack one large egg and beat it lightly. Add 1/2 cup of milk to the egg and mix thoroughly.
- Gradually pour the wet mixture into the bowl with the dry ingredients. Stir gently until just combined; be careful not to overmix.
- Next, fold in the prepared corn and 1/4 cup of chopped green onions.
- Heat about 1/4 cup of cooking oil in a non-stick skillet over medium heat. To test if the oil is hot enough, drop a small spoonful of batter into the oil; it should sizzle immediately.
- Once the oil is ready, spoon about 1/4 cup of the corn batter into the hot oil for each fritter. Flatten them slightly with the back of the spoon.
- Fry the fritters for approximately 3-4 minutes on each side or until they achieve a golden-brown color.
- Once cooked, remove the fritters from the skillet and place them on a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil.
- Repeat the frying process with the remaining batter until all fritters are cooked.
- Serve the fritters warm, perhaps with a dollop of your favorite yogurt or sauce for dipping.
Notes
Store any leftover fritters in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. They can be reheated in the oven or skillet to regain their crispiness.
