SAVORY CORN FRITTERS



Savory Corn Fritters image

These corn fritters use fresh, whole kernels, mixed with spices, scallions and a simple batter. Corn fritters come in many types, from the cornmeal-based, deep-fried hush puppies, to the more patty-shaped, pan-fried fritters. Pan-seared in hot oil until crisp, these patty-like fritters contain Cheddar, which adds creaminess while still allowing the crunchy corn kernels to provide a pop of sweet flavor and texture with each bite. Fritters make an excellent side for a cookout, as they stand up to smoky barbecue flavors and can be enjoyed warm or at room temperature. Leftovers make an excellent breakfast, with a dollop of sour cream or plain yogurt on top.

Time 30m

Yield 18 fritters

Number Of Ingredients 12

2 large eggs
2/3 cup whole milk
1 teaspoon fine sea salt
1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
1/2 teaspoon ground cayenne
1 cup all-purpose flour
2 teaspoons baking powder
3 cups corn kernels, fresh or frozen and thawed (about 1 pound)
1/4 cup chopped scallion greens
1 cup sharp Cheddar, shredded
Vegetable oil, coconut oil or shortening, for frying

Steps:

  • In a large bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, salt, garlic powder, black pepper and ground cayenne. Whisk in the flour and baking powder until just combined. Stir in the corn, scallions and Cheddar.
  • Heat a cast-iron skillet over medium-low and add enough oil to generously coat the bottom of the skillet.
  • Once the oil is shimmering hot, add a heaping tablespoon of the batter to the skillet. Use the back of the spoon to flatten it into a round patty. Repeat to fry 3 to 4 fritters at once. Fry on each side until golden, about 2 minutes, then cook for an additional 2 minutes. Add more oil as needed.
  • Remove from the skillet and transfer to a paper towel-lined baking sheet. Repeat until all fritters are fried. Serve warm or at room temperature.

Yield Makes about 2 dozen

3/4 cup all-purpose flour
2 tablespoons yellow cornmeal
1 tablespoon sugar
1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
Coarse salt
1/4 teaspoon cayenne

  • Heat 4 inches oil in a large heavy-bottomed pot or Dutch oven over high heat until a deep-fry thermometer reaches 375 degrees. Working in batches, using a small ice cream scoop or two spoons, drop batter by the tablespoon into the oil. Cook, turning occasionally, until cooked through and deep-golden brown, 1 to 2 minutes; adjust heat as needed to keep oil temperature between 350 and 360 degrees. Transfer fritters to a paper-towel-lined baking sheet. Season to taste with salt, and serve immediately with honey.

SUGAR-DUSTED CORN FRITTERS



Sugar-Dusted Corn Fritters image

I adapted this from an Amish recipe. I love them sprinkled with a little confectioner's sugar and served with maple syrup for breakfast. You can also serve them as a side dish. The yield is approximate. Depends on how large or small you make them, and how much corn you put into it.

Categories     Breakfast

Time 25m

Yield 8-10 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 11

1 egg, beaten
1/2 cup milk
1 tablespoon sugar (optional)
1 1/2 cups sifted flour
2 teaspoons baking powder
1 teaspoon salt
1 dash pepper
1 tablespoon margarine or 1 tablespoon vegetable oil
1 cup cooked whole kernel corn (can use up to 2 cups if desired)
oil (for deep frying, see note)
confectioners' sugar, for dusting (optional)

Steps:

  • Beat the egg, milk and sugar together.
  • Sift the dry ingredients and add to the egg mixture.
  • (If using sifted flour, you can just mix the dry ingredients together well and still get excellent results).
  • Add the melted butter or margarine (or oil) and beat or stir briskly by hand until well blended.
  • Stir or fold in the corn until evenly distributed.
  • Drop by tablespoons into hot deep fat (375 degrees) and cook until golden brown.
  • Drain on paper towels.
  • Place on plates and dust with confectioner's sugar if desired. These are best if served with maple syrup.
  • Notes: I usually try one first.
  • If I find the oil is bubbling through the fritter, which would make it too greasy, I'll add a little more flour to the batter to prevent that.
  • Also, as a shortcut, instead of deep frying, I usually pour 2 or 3 inches of oil into a large saucepan or electric frying pan and fry that way.
  • When one side is brown, I just turn and brown the other side.
