Quick and Easy Pan Fried Corn Fritters
These corn fritters are made using fresh ingredients that you likely already have in your kitchen. They’re crispy on the outside and tender on the inside, making them a favorite among everyone!
Ingredients
- 1 cup of corn kernels (fresh, canned, or frozen)
- 1/2 cup of all-purpose flour
- 1/4 cup of cornmeal
- 1/2 teaspoon of baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon of salt
- 1/4 teaspoon of black pepper
- 1/4 cup of chopped green onions
- 1/4 cup of grated cheese (optional)
- 1 large egg
- 1/4 cup of milk
- Oil for frying
Instructions
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the corn kernels, flour, cornmeal, baking powder, salt, black pepper, and chopped green onions. If you’re using cheese, add it now.
- In another bowl, whisk together the egg and milk until well combined.
- Pour the egg mixture into the dry ingredients and stir until just combined. Be careful not to overmix; it’s okay if the batter is a little lumpy.
- Heat a skillet over medium heat and add enough oil to coat the bottom. Once the oil is hot, drop tablespoonfuls of the batter into the skillet.
- Fry the fritters for about 3-4 minutes on each side, or until they are golden brown and crispy. You may need to do this in batches depending on the size of your skillet.
- Remove the fritters from the skillet and place them on a plate lined with paper towels to drain any excess oil.
- Serve warm with your favorite dipping sauce or enjoy them as is!
These pan-fried corn fritters are not only easy to make but also a wonderful way to enjoy the sweet taste of corn. Perfect for gatherings or a casual family dinner, they’re sure to be a hit! Enjoy and happy cooking!
