Equipment
- 1 mixing bowl
- 1 whisk
- 1 frying pan or skillet
- 1 spatula
- 1 set measuring cups and spoons
- 1 ladle or scoop
- 1 paper towels
Ingredients
- 2 cups sweet corn kernels fresh or frozen
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 2 large eggs
- ½ cup milk
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- ½ teaspoon onion powder
- ½ teaspoon salt
- ¼ teaspoon black pepper
- ½ cup chopped green onions optional
- Vegetable oil for frying
Instructions
- In a mixing bowl, combine the sweet corn kernels, flour, eggs, milk, baking powder, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and black pepper. Stir until just combined. If using, fold in the chopped green onions.
- Heat about ½ inch of vegetable oil in a frying pan over medium heat.
- Once the oil is hot (test by dropping a small spoonful of the batter into the oil; it should sizzle immediately), use a ladle or scoop to drop spoonfuls of the corn mixture into the hot oil, being careful not to overcrowd the pan.
- Fry the fritters until golden brown and crispy on one side (about 2-3 minutes), then carefully flip them to cook on the other side for another 2-3 minutes.
- Remove the fritters from the oil and place them on a plate lined with paper towels to absorb any excess oil.
- Repeat the frying process until the entire batter is cooked, adding more oil as necessary.
- Serve hot with your favorite dipping sauce or simply enjoy them as they are.
Notes
For an even crispier texture, you can add a tablespoon of cornmeal to the batter.
Feel free to customize the fritters by adding spices or diced vegetables to suit your taste.
These fritters can be made ahead of time and reheated in an oven for best results.
