Yield Makes 10 four-inch fritters

Number Of Ingredients 7

3 ears corn (about 3 cups kernels)
1 large egg, separated, plus 1 large egg white
1 tablespoon all-purpose flour
1 1/2 teaspoons sugar
1/4 teaspoon salt
1 pinch of freshly ground black pepper
4 tablespoons vegetable oil

Steps:

  • Using a chef's knife, cut the kernels from the corn into a medium bowl; you should have about 3 cups. Using the dull side of the knife, scrape the milk and pulp from the cobs into the bowl. Add egg yolk, flour, sugar, salt, and pepper. Stir to combine.
  • In a clean bowl, whisk egg whites until stiff but not dry. Fold into corn mixture. Heat 2 tablespoons vegetable oil in a large cast-iron or nonstick skillet over medium-high heat.
  • Drop spoonfuls of batter into the oil, spaced a few inches apart. Cook until golden on the bottom, 1 to 2 minutes. Using a spatula, turn fritter over, and cook until golden on the other side, 1 to 2 minutes more. Repeat the process with the remaining batter, using the remaining oil for pan. Serve immediately.

I'm not a big fan of corn fritters, but these were surprisingly good. I'll definitely be making them again.

These fritters were a little bland for my taste. I think I'll add some chopped jalapeƱos next time.

I followed the recipe exactly, but my fritters turned out dry and crumbly. I'm not sure what I did wrong.

These corn fritters were a hit at my brunch party! They were crispy on the outside and fluffy on the inside, with a delicious sweet corn flavor. I served them with maple syrup and butter, and they were gone in no time.
