Delicious Corn Fritters Recipe
Ingredients:
– 1 cup corn kernels (fresh or canned)
– 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
– 1/4 cup cornmeal
– 1 teaspoon baking powder
– 1/2 teaspoon salt
– 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
– 1/4 cup milk
– 1 egg, beaten
– 1/4 cup finely chopped green onions
– 1/4 cup grated cheddar cheese
– 1 tablespoon sugar (optional)
– Oil for frying
Directions:
1. Prepare the Batter: In a large bowl, combine 1 cup corn kernels, 1/2 cup all-purpose flour, 1/4 cup cornmeal, 1 teaspoon baking powder, 1/2 teaspoon salt, and 1/4 teaspoon black pepper. Mix well.
2. Mix Wet Ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk together 1/4 cup milk and 1 beaten egg. Add this mixture to the dry ingredients and stir until just combined.
3. Add Flavorings: Fold in 1/4 cup finely chopped green onions and 1/4 cup grated cheddar cheese. If you prefer a touch of sweetness, add 1 tablespoon sugar.
4. Heat the Oil: Heat oil in a large skillet over medium heat until hot but not smoking.
5. **Fry the Fritters**: Drop spoonfuls of batter into the hot oil, flattening them slightly with the back of the spoon. Fry until golden brown, about 2-3 minutes per side. Transfer to a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil.
6. Serve: Serve the corn fritters hot, perfect for an appetizer or snack. Enjoy them with your favorite dipping sauce.
