Time 16m

Yield 6

Number Of Ingredients 12

½ cup mayonnaise
2 teaspoons ground dried chipotle pepper
1 lime, juiced
1 large egg white
¼ cup ice water
½ teaspoon kosher salt
¼ cup cornstarch
¼ cup self-rising flour
2 ears fresh sweet white corn, kernels removed from cob
1 cup vegetable oil for frying, or as needed
1 ½ cups flaked fresh Dungeness crab meat
1 fresh lime, cut into wedges

Steps:

  • Whisk mayonnaise, chipotle powder, and lime juice together in a mixing bowl. Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate until needed for serving.
  • Whisk egg white, ice water, and salt together in a large mixing bowl until mixture is light and foamy, 1 or 2 minutes. Add cornstarch and flour; whisk together until thoroughly mixed. Batter should resemble a thin pancake batter. Stir in corn.
  • Heat 1/2 inch vegetable oil to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C) in a seasoned cast iron skillet. Spoon about 2 large spoonfuls of batter into oil for each fritter. Do not crowd, cook in batches, if necessary. Fry until browned and crispy, about 2 minutes per side. Turn fritters carefully to avoid spattering the oil. Drain on paper-towel-lined plate.
  • Serve topped with fresh Dungeness crab and drizzle with the chipotle dressing. Serve with a wedge of lime.

I thought the crab and chipotle lime dressing was a bit too spicy. I would probably use less chipotle next time.

These fritters were a bit too oily for my taste. I think I would try using less oil next time.

I'm not a big fan of corn fritters, but I thought these were pretty good. They were crispy on the outside and fluffy on the inside. The crab and chipotle lime dressing was also very good.
