These wonderful corn fritters came down from my great-grandmother. They can be served with maple syrup for breakfast, or as a side dish with jambalaya, chili, or a Mexican dinner.

Time 40m

Yield 24

Number Of Ingredients 11

1 (14.75 ounce) can creamed corn
¾ cup all-purpose flour, or as needed
½ cup milk
1 egg, beaten
¼ cup white sugar
2 ½ teaspoons salt
2 teaspoons vegetable oil
2 teaspoons baking powder
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 dash ground black pepper
¼ cup oil for frying, or as needed

Steps:

  • Combine creamed corn, flour, milk, egg, sugar, salt, 2 teaspoons oil, baking powder, vanilla extract, and pepper in a bowl to create a thick batter. Add more flour to the mixture if it seems too thin.
  • Heat oil in a large deep skillet over medium-high heat.
  • Test the readiness of the oil by dropping a small drop of batter into the oil; it should immediately start to bubble and cook, indicating that the oil is hot enough. Carefully drop tablespoons of batter into the hot oil. Cook no more than 4 fritters at a time to avoid cooling the oil, which causes the fritters to absorb more oil than necessary.
  • Cook fritters in the hot oil for 1 1/2 to 2 minutes. Turn over and cook until both sides are golden brown, about 1 minute more. Lift from the oil and place on a paper towel to drain. Continue with remaining batter.

GRANDMA'S CORN FRITTERS



Grandma's Corn Fritters image

This one has been in our family for as long as I can remember. A long time ago my grandma used to use fresh corn, but as the family got BIG and there were a lot of mouths to feed (more to make too) she went to can corn just to make it faster. I cut the recipe in half.

Categories     Vegetables

Number Of Ingredients 9

eight ears corn, husks and silk removed
three large eggs, separated
2 tablespoons flour
3/4 teaspoons salt
1/4 teaspoons pepper
pinch cream of tartar
1 teaspoon sugar
6 tablespoons vegetable oil
2 tablespoons minced fresh chives

Steps:

  • 1. adjust an oven rack to the middle position and heat the oven to 200°. Set a wire rack over a rimmed baking sheet and set aside.
  • 2. Grate each ear of corn over the large holes of a box grater into a bowl. Using the back of the butter knife, scrape any remaining milk from the cob into the bowl.
  • 3. Whisk the egg yolks, flour, salt and pepper into the corn mixture.
  • 4. In a medium bowl, beat the egg whites and cream of tartar with electric mixer on medium low speed until foamy. Increase the speed to medium-high, gradually add the sugar, and whip until the whites form stiff peaks, 1 to 3 minutes. Gently fold the whipped egg whites into the batter until mixed.
  • 5. Heat 1 tablespoon of the oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat until shimmering. Drop six heaping tablespoons of batter into the oil, then flatten each into a 2 1/2 inch diameter circle with the back of spoon. Cook until puffed and golden brown on both sides, about two minutes, flipping halfway through. Transfer the fritters to a paper towel lined plate, then transfer to the prepared wire rack and keep warm in the oven. Repeat with remaining oil and the remaining batter in five batches. Sprinkle with chives and serve. Serves 6 to 8
