Ingredients

• 1 cup fresh or frozen corn kernels
• 1 cup all-purpose flour
• 2 large eggs
• 1/2 cup milk
• 1 teaspoon baking powder
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
• 2 tablespoons chopped fresh herbs (such as parsley or chives)
• Vegetable oil, for frying
• Optional: Sour cream or yogurt for serving

How to Make Savory Corn Fritters

1. In a large bowl, combine the flour, baking powder, salt, and black pepper. Whisk together until well mixed.
2. In a separate bowl, beat the eggs and then stir in the milk. Gradually add this mixture to the dry ingredients, mixing until just combined.
3. Fold in the corn kernels and chopped herbs until evenly distributed throughout the batter.
4. Heat about 1/4 inch of vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium heat. To test if the oil is ready, drop a small amount of batter into the oil; it should sizzle immediately.
5. Using a spoon or small measuring cup, drop about 2 tablespoons of batter into the hot oil for each fritter, making sure not to overcrowd the pan.
6. Cook for 3-4 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and crispy. Remove the fritters and place them on a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil.
7. Serve warm, optionally with a dollop of sour cream or yogurt on the side.

Tips for the Best Results

• Make sure the oil is hot enough before adding the fritters to ensure they fry properly and don’t absorb too much oil.
• Avoid overmixing the batter to keep the fritters light and fluffy.
• If using frozen corn, thaw and drain it well to avoid excess moisture in the batter.

Easy Variations

• Add diced jalapeños for a spicy kick.
• Incorporate shredded cheese into the batter for added richness.
• Use different herbs like cilantro or dill for a unique flavor twist.

What to Serve With It

• A side of avocado salsa for a fresh and zesty contrast.
• A simple green salad dressed with lemon vinaigrette.
• Crispy bacon or sausage links for a heartier breakfast.
• A dollop of your favorite hot sauce for an extra punch.
