A quick and delightful snack or savory brunch option, these corn fritters are simple and incredibly tasty. They feature sweet corn kernels that create a crispy exterior and a tender interior.
Ingredients
Scale:
2 cups sweet corn kernels (fresh, frozen, or canned)
1 large egg, beaten
1 cup all-purpose flour (or gluten-free flour for a gluten-free option)
1 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon baking powder
Instructions
Prepare the Corn: If using fresh corn, cut the kernels off the cob using a sharp knife. If using frozen corn, ensure it's completely thawed and drained. For canned corn, rinse under cold water and drain well.
Mix Dry Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, combine the flour, salt, and baking powder. Whisk together until well combined.
Add Wet Ingredients: Create a well in the center of the dry ingredients and add the beaten egg and corn. Stir gently until just combined.
Heat the Skillet: In a large skillet, heat about 1/4 inch of oil over medium heat until it shimmers.
Cook the Fritters: Drop spoonfuls of the batter into the hot oil and cook for about 3-4 minutes on each side until golden brown and crispy.
Drain and Serve: Once cooked, transfer the fritters to a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil. Serve warm with your choice of dipping sauces.
