Ingredients

Scale

Main Ingredients

  • 1 cup corn kernels (fresh, frozen, or canned, drained)
  • 3/4 cup all-purpose flour (or gluten-free flour blend/chickpea flour for gluten-free version)
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1/4 cup milk
  • 3 green onions, chopped
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
  • Oil for frying (vegetable, canola, or sunflower oil)

Instructions

  1. Prepare the batter: In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, salt, and pepper. In a separate bowl, beat the eggs with the milk until combined. Gradually pour the wet ingredients into the dry mix, stirring gently until just combined to avoid overmixing.
  2. Add the corn and extras: Fold the corn kernels and chopped green onions into the batter, ensuring even distribution without overmixing to keep the fritters light and tender.
  3. Heat the oil: Pour about 1/4 inch of oil into a large skillet and heat over medium-high until shimmering but not smoking—this temperature is key for achieving a crispy, golden crust.
  4. Fry the fritters: Drop spoonfuls of batter into the hot oil, pressing each slightly flat. Cook each side for 2 to 3 minutes until golden brown and crispy. Remove and drain on a paper towel-lined plate to remove excess oil.
  5. Serve warm: Enjoy the corn fritters hot straight from the pan for the best texture and flavor.

Notes

  • Don’t overmix the batter to prevent rubbery fritters.
  • Use fresh or frozen corn for better texture over canned.
  • Maintain oil temperature to avoid burning or greasiness.
  • Drain fritters on paper towels to keep them crispy.
  • Serve immediately for optimal crunch and flavor.
