SAVORY CORN FRITTERS
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.

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.

Steps:
- In a large bowl, stir together flour, cornmeal, sugar, baking powder, 1 1/2 teaspoons salt, and cayenne. Add milk and egg to flour mixture and stir together to create a batter. Add corn and fold to combine.
- 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.
QUICK AND EASY CORN FRITTERS
Steps:
- Stir together the corn kernels, flour, sugar, baking powder, 1/2 teaspoon salt and 1/4 teaspoon pepper in a large bowl. Stir in the eggs and heavy cream until the batter is well combined.
- Line a plate with paper towels. Coat the bottom of a large saute pan with oil and place it over medium-high heat. Once the oil is hot, scoop 2- to 3-tablespoon mounds of the corn batter into the pan, spreading it lightly into a flat, circular shape. Cook the fritters until golden brown, 2 to 3 minutes, then flip and cook until golden brown and cooked through, about 3 minutes. Transfer the fritters to the paper towel-lined plate, season them immediately with salt and repeat the cooking process with the remaining batter, adding more oil to the pan as needed.
- Garnish the corn fritters with the scallions and serve them with sour cream or aioli for dipping.
Tips:
- For a crispy exterior and fluffy interior, ensure the batter is well-chilled before frying.
- Use a sturdy pancake mix or your preferred pancake recipe for a perfect batter base.
- For a sweeter fritter, add a tablespoon of sugar to the batter.
- Experiment with different add-ins, such as diced bell peppers, grated zucchini, or crumbled bacon.
- Serve corn fritters with your favorite dipping sauce, such as ketchup, honey, or maple syrup.
Conclusion:
Corn fritters are a delightful treat that combines the flavors of sweet corn, scallions, and herbs, coated in a crispy fried batter.
