Categories     appetizer

Time 15m

Yield 15 fritters

Number Of Ingredients 10

3 cups corn kernels (see Cook's Note)
1 cup all-purpose flour
1 tablespoon sugar
1 teaspoon baking powder
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
2 large eggs, lightly beaten
3/4 cup heavy cream
Vegetable oil, for frying
Sliced scallions, for serving
Sour cream or aioli, for serving

Steps:

  • Stir together the corn kernels, flour, sugar, baking powder, 1/2 teaspoon salt and 1/4 teaspoon pepper in a large bowl. Stir in the eggs and heavy cream until the batter is well combined.
  • Line a plate with paper towels. Coat the bottom of a large saute pan with oil and place it over medium-high heat. Once the oil is hot, scoop 2- to 3-tablespoon mounds of the corn batter into the pan, spreading it lightly into a flat, circular shape. Cook the fritters until golden brown, 2 to 3 minutes, then flip and cook until golden brown and cooked through, about 3 minutes. Transfer the fritters to the paper towel-lined plate, season them immediately with salt and repeat the cooking process with the remaining batter, adding more oil to the pan as needed.
  • Garnish the corn fritters with the scallions and serve them with sour cream or aioli for dipping.

Categories     Breads

Time 45m

Yield 9 fritters

Number Of Ingredients 7

15 ounces corn (drain and reserve juice)
2 medium eggs
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 cup flour
1 teaspoon baking powder
1 teaspoon sugar
bacon grease (for frying) or margarine (for frying)

Steps:

  • Drain the liquid from the the canned corn. Measure 1/4 cup of it, and discard the rest.
  • In a medium sized bowl combine the corn juice you've just measured and the eggs.
  • Use a whisk to beat them smooth.
  • Add the salt, flour, baking powder and sugar. Mix really well, until there are no lumps.
  • Add the drained corn and mix again.
  • Heat about 2 tablespoons of bacon grease or margarine in a large iron skillet over medium high heat.
  • When the fat is hot, it's time to drop in the fritters. I drop about 1/4 of a cup of batter for each fritter, cooking about 3 or 4 together in the same pan. Fry them just like pancakes, turning them, after the under side is crispy brown. They cook a little slower than pancakes, because they are thicker.
  • After they have browned on both sides, transfer them to a plate to keep warm.
  • Add more fat to the pan as necessary.
  • This recipe makes about 8 or 9 fritters. I usually double it because they are so popular.
  • I serve the fritters with applesauce, or Pancake Syrup or just plain with more margarine for the kids. They can take the place of both starch and bread in a meal. For lunch, or a light supper, make Scalloped Tomatoes, Corn Fritters, and serve fruit and yogurt for dessert. Delicious!
