Units
Scale
- 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 tablespoon granulated sugar
- 1/2 teaspoon salt (or to taste)
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 3 cups corn kernels (fresh, frozen, or canned, drained)
- 2 large eggs, lightly beaten
- 2/3 cup half and half (10%MF, use more if needed)
- 1/4 cup vegetable oil (or more as needed, for frying)
Optional
- 1 tablespoon chopped chives
- Sour cream, for serving
Instructions
- ry Ingredients: Whisk together flour, sugar, salt, and baking powder in a large bowl. Add corn and stir to coat.
- Batter: Combine eggs and half and half. Pour into the dry ingredients and stir to form a thick batter. Add more half and half if necessary.
- Fry: Heat vegetable oil in a skillet over medium heat. Drop ¼ cup portions of batter into the hot oil. Fry for 2-3 minutes per side, or until golden brown. Adjust heat as needed. Repeat with remaining batter.
- Serve: Garnish with chives and sour cream (optional).
Notes
- Batter Consistency: The batter should be thick, but all flour should be incorporated. Add more half and half as needed, especially in dry climates.
- Storage: Let fritters cool completely before storing in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
- Corn Variations: Use fresh corn off the cob, frozen corn, or canned corn (drained).
- Flavor Additions: Add chopped jalapeños, onions, or herbs to the batter for extra flavor.
