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.

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:

- When choosing corn for fritters, look for fresh, sweet corn with plump kernels. Avoid corn that is dry or has blemishes. - To get the best flavor from your corn fritters, use fresh, sweet corn. You can also use frozen corn, but be sure to thaw it before using. - If you don't have buttermilk, you can make your own by adding 1 tablespoon of vinegar or lemon juice to 1 cup of regular milk. Let it sit for 5 minutes before using. - Be careful not to overmix the batter. Overmixing will make the fritters tough. - Drop the batter by rounded tablespoons into the hot oil. Do not overcrowd the pan. - Cook the fritters over medium heat until they are golden brown and cooked through. This will take about 2-3 minutes per side. - Drain the fritters on paper towels before serving. This will help to remove any excess oil.
