Ingredients
- 1 cup fresh corn kernels (about 2 ears of corn)
- 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 large egg
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
- 1/4 cup chopped green onions
- 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese (optional)
- Vegetable oil for frying
How to Make Crispy Fried Corn Fritters
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the corn kernels, flour, baking powder, salt, pepper, and green onions. If you’re using Parmesan cheese, add it in at this stage.
- Crack the egg into the bowl and mix until all ingredients are well combined. The mixture should be thick but not dry; add a splash of water if necessary.
- Heat about 1/4 inch of vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium heat. To test if the oil is hot enough, drop a small spoonful of the batter into the oil; it should sizzle immediately.
- Using a spoon or a small ice cream scoop, drop spoonfuls of the batter into the hot oil, making sure not to overcrowd the pan.
- Fry the fritters for about 3-4 minutes on each side, or until they are golden brown and crispy. Adjust the heat as needed to prevent burning.
- Once cooked, transfer the fritters to a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil. Repeat until all batter is used.
- Serve warm with your favorite dipping sauce.
Tips for the Best Results
- Ensure the oil is hot before adding the fritters for that crispy texture.
- Don’t overcrowd the pan; this can lower the oil temperature and lead to soggy fritters.
- For extra flavor, consider adding spices like paprika or cumin to the batter.
Easy Variations
- Add diced bell peppers for a pop of color and flavor.
- Spice things up with chopped jalapeños for a kick.
- Swap out the green onions for fresh herbs like cilantro or parsley.
What to Serve With It
- A zesty lime or avocado crema
- Spicy sriracha mayo
