EASY SOUTHERN CORN FRITTERS



Easy Southern Corn Fritters image

Make and share this Easy Southern Corn Fritters recipe from Food.com.

Provided by Maggie

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!

QUICK AND EASY CORN FRITTERS



Quick and Easy Corn Fritters image

Provided by Kelly Senyei

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.

Tips:

  • Choose the right corn: Fresh corn is best for corn fritters, but you can also use frozen or canned corn. If using frozen corn, thaw it completely before using. If using canned corn, drain it well and rinse it with cold water.
  • Use a good quality all-purpose flour: This will help to ensure that your corn fritters are light and fluffy.
  • Don't overmix the batter: Overmixing the batter will make your corn fritters tough. Mix just until the ingredients are combined.
  • Heat the oil to the correct temperature: The oil should be hot enough to fry the corn fritters, but not so hot that they burn. A good rule of thumb is to heat the oil to 375 degrees Fahrenheit.
  • Fry the corn fritters in small batches: This will help to prevent them from sticking together.
  • Conclusion:

    Corn fritters are a delicious and easy-to-make side dish or snack. They are perfect for using up leftover corn, and they can be served with a variety of dipping sauces. With a few simple tips, you can make perfect corn fritters every time.
