Ingredients
Scale
Dry Ingredients
- 1 cup All-Purpose Flour (can substitute with gluten-free flour)
- 1 tbsp Baking Powder
- 1 tsp Salt
- 1/2 tsp Black Pepper
Wet Ingredients
- 2 cups Corn Kernels (frozen, thawed)
- 2 stalks Green Onions (finely chopped)
- 2 large Eggs (lightly beaten)
For Frying
- 1 cup Cooking Oil (for frying)
Instructions
- Prepare Ingredients: Gather all your ingredients. If using canned corn, rinse and drain it thoroughly. For frozen corn, thaw completely. Finely chop the green onions.
- Mix Dry Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, baking powder, salt, and black pepper. Whisk until well mixed.
- Combine Wet Ingredients: In a separate bowl, lightly beat the eggs and stir in the corn kernels and chopped green onions until well blended.
- Combine Mixtures: Gently fold the wet mixture into the dry ingredients using a spatula until just combined, taking care not to overmix to ensure tender fritters.
- Heat Oil: Pour enough cooking oil into a skillet to reach about 1/4 inch deep. Heat the oil over medium heat until it shimmers, indicating it is ready for frying.
- Fry Fritters: Drop spoonfuls of the batter into the hot oil, spacing them properly. Fry each fritter for 3-4 minutes on each side or until they achieve a crispy golden-brown crust.
- Serve: Remove the cooked fritters and place them on a paper towel-lined plate to absorb excess oil. Serve warm with your favorite dipping sauce or enjoy as is.
Notes
- For a gluten-free version, substitute all-purpose flour with gluten-free flour blend.
- Ensure the oil is hot enough before frying to achieve crispiness and prevent sogginess.
- Don’t overcrowd the pan to maintain even cooking and temperature.
- Leftover fritters can be reheated in a skillet or oven to retain crisp texture.
