Steps:
- Using a chef's knife, cut the kernels from the corn into a medium bowl; you should have about 3 cups. Using the dull side of the knife, scrape the milk and pulp from the cobs into the bowl. Add egg yolk, flour, sugar, salt, and pepper. Stir to combine.
- In a clean bowl, whisk egg whites until stiff but not dry. Fold into corn mixture. Heat 2 tablespoons vegetable oil in a large cast-iron or nonstick skillet over medium-high heat.
- Drop spoonfuls of batter into the oil, spaced a few inches apart. Cook until golden on the bottom, 1 to 2 minutes. Using a spatula, turn fritter over, and cook until golden on the other side, 1 to 2 minutes more. Repeat the process with the remaining batter, using the remaining oil for pan. Serve immediately.

CORN FRITTERS
Corn fritters are incredibly versatile-they can be drizzled with maple syrup for a breakfast cake, topped with applesauce as a snack, or served with salsa as a side dish. These fritters, adapted from Laurie Colwin, have a wonderfully crisp exterior and a sweet, fluffy middle.
Yield Makes 10 to 12 (side dish) servings
Number Of Ingredients 8
Steps:
- Combine water and 1/4 cup oil in a small bowl. Whisk together flour and salt in a large bowl, then add liquid in a slow stream, whisking until combined well. Whisk in yolk until smooth.
- Beat egg white in another small bowl with cleaned whisk or an electric mixer until soft peaks form, then fold into batter. Let batter stand at room temperature 1 hour.
- Cut corn kernels from cobs using a large knife without cutting very deeply into cobs, then, working in a shallow dish, scrape cobs with back of knife to release remaining kernels and liquid. Gently stir kernels with liquid into batter.
- Put oven rack in middle position and preheat oven to 200°F.
- Heat remaining 3 3/4 cups oil with garlic in a 12-inch heavy skillet (about 1 inch deep) over moderately high heat until thermometer registers 375°F. Remove garlic when golden.
- Fry heaping tablespoons of batter in batches of 6 or 7 in hot oil, without turning, until fritters are deep golden, about 4 minutes. Return oil to 375°F and skim out any bits of batter between batches. Transfer fritters to paper towels with tongs to drain, then transfer to a shallow baking pan and keep warm in oven. Season with salt before serving.
Tips:
- Use fresh corn. Fresh corn has the best flavor and will produce the most tender fritters.
- Don't overmix the batter. Overmixing will make the fritters tough.
- Fry the fritters in hot oil. This will help them cook evenly and prevent them from becoming greasy.
- Serve the fritters hot. Corn fritters are best eaten fresh out of the fryer, when they are crispy on the outside and tender on the inside.
- Garnish with Vermont maple syrup and butter. This is the classic way to serve corn fritters, and it's delicious!
Conclusion:
Corn fritters are a delicious and easy-to-make side dish or snack. They are perfect for summer gatherings, picnics, or potlucks. With their crispy exterior and tender interior, these fritters are sure to be a hit with everyone who tries them. So next time you have some fresh corn on hand, give this recipe a try!
