Celebrate summer with a quick and easy recipe for corn fritters that can be made with fresh or frozen corn kernels.

Provided by Kelly Senyei

Time 15m

Number Of Ingredients 9

3 cups corn kernels (See Kelly's Note)
1 cup all-purpose flour
1 Tablespoon sugar
1 teaspoon baking powder
2 large eggs, lightly beaten
3/4 cup heavy cream
Vegetable oil, for frying
Sliced scallions, for serving
Sour cream or garlic aioli, for serving

Steps:

  • In a large bowl, stir together the corn kernels, flour, sugar, baking powder, 1/2 teaspoon salt and 1/4 teaspoon pepper.
  • 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 sauté pan with vegetable 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 for 2 to 3 minutes, then flip them once and cook them an additional 3 minutes until they're golden brown and cooked through. 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 scallions and serve them with sour cream or garlic aioli for dipping.

Provided by John Mitzewich

Categories     Appetizer     Side Dish     Dinner

Time 25m

Yield 4

Number Of Ingredients 10

2 large ears sweet corn (or 1 packed cup of thawed, drained, frozen corn)
2 large eggs
1/4 cup milk (whole)
1/4 cup all-purpose flour
3 tablespoons yellow cornmeal
1 1/2 teaspoon sugar
1/2 teaspoon salt (or to taste)
2 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
1 bottle peanut oil for frying (or canola)
Kosher salt for finishing

Steps:

  • Gather the ingredients.
  • Using a sharp knife over a large bowl, carefully shave the corn kernels off the cob into the bowl. With the back of the knife, scrape the milky juice from the cob into the bowl as well.
  • Whisk the eggs and milk into the corn until thoroughly combined.
  • In another bowl, combine the flour, cornmeal , sugar, salt, and baking powder.
  • Pour into the bowl of the corn mixture, and stir with a spatula to form a thick batter.
  • In a heavy-duty skillet, pour enough oil so it's about 3/4-inch deep. Over medium-high heat, bring the oil to 375 F.
  • When the oil is hot, carefully drop rounded tablespoons of the batter into the oil. Don't crowd the pan; the fritters should not touch each other. Cook about 3 minutes on each side, until the corn fritters are golden brown.
  • Drain on paper towels or a wire rack and add a sprinkling of salt if desired.

SAVORY CORN FRITTERS



Savory Corn Fritters image

These corn fritters use fresh, whole kernels, mixed with spices, scallions and a simple batter. Corn fritters come in many types, from the cornmeal-based, deep-fried hush puppies, to the more patty-shaped, pan-fried fritters. Pan-seared in hot oil until crisp, these patty-like fritters contain Cheddar, which adds creaminess while still allowing the crunchy corn kernels to provide a pop of sweet flavor and texture with each bite. Fritters make an excellent side for a cookout, as they stand up to smoky barbecue flavors and can be enjoyed warm or at room temperature. Leftovers make an excellent breakfast, with a dollop of sour cream or plain yogurt on top.

Time 30m

Yield 18 fritters

Number Of Ingredients 12

2 large eggs
2/3 cup whole milk
1 teaspoon fine sea salt
1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
1/2 teaspoon ground cayenne
1 cup all-purpose flour
2 teaspoons baking powder
3 cups corn kernels, fresh or frozen and thawed (about 1 pound)
1/4 cup chopped scallion greens
1 cup sharp Cheddar, shredded
Vegetable oil, coconut oil or shortening, for frying

Steps:

  • In a large bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, salt, garlic powder, black pepper and ground cayenne. Whisk in the flour and baking powder until just combined. Stir in the corn, scallions and Cheddar.
  • Heat a cast-iron skillet over medium-low and add enough oil to generously coat the bottom of the skillet.
  • Once the oil is shimmering hot, add a heaping tablespoon of the batter to the skillet. Use the back of the spoon to flatten it into a round patty. Repeat to fry 3 to 4 fritters at once. Fry on each side until golden, about 2 minutes, then cook for an additional 2 minutes. Add more oil as needed.
  • Remove from the skillet and transfer to a paper towel-lined baking sheet. Repeat until all fritters are fried. Serve warm or at room temperature.

Tips:

  • For the freshest corn fritters, use fresh sweet corn kernels. If fresh corn is unavailable, frozen corn kernels can be used instead.
  • To get a crispy exterior on your fritters, make sure the oil is hot enough before adding the batter. You can test the oil by dropping a small piece of batter into it. If it sizzles immediately, the oil is hot enough.
  • Don't overcrowd the pan when frying the fritters. This will cause them to steam instead of fry, resulting in a soggy texture.
  • Serve the fritters hot and fresh, with your favorite toppings. Some popular options include honey, maple syrup, butter, sour cream, and salsa.

Conclusion:

Fresh sweet corn fritters are a delicious and easy-to-make side dish or snack. With just a few simple ingredients, you can create a batch of crispy, golden-brown fritters that are sure to be a hit with your family and friends. So next time you're looking for a quick and tasty recipe, give these corn fritters a try.
