CORN FRITTERS



Corn Fritters image

Corn is the One True Vegetable of American summer. Vine-ripened tomatoes are thrilling, but not ours alone. And zucchini, while pleasant, does not make anyone's toes curl. But the crunch and suck of ripe local corn on the cob is, so far, confined to the Here and Now. Once you've tired of piled-high platters of cobs, turn to corn fritters, which are always greeted with surprise - joy, even. And they are forgiving, because they can be made with fresh, or leftover cooked, kernels. Frying on a hot day isn't anyone's idea of fun, so my recipe has evolved into a hybrid of fritter and pancake, cooked in shallow oil. It goes with everything on the August table and, with maple syrup, peaches and bacon, is an ideal breakfast for dinner.

The fritters can be kept warm in the oven up to 30 minutes. Serve with maple syrup.

CORN FRITTERS



Corn Fritters image

Corn fritters are incredibly versatile-they can be drizzled with maple syrup for a breakfast cake, topped with applesauce as a snack, or served with salsa as a side dish. These fritters, adapted from Laurie Colwin, have a wonderfully crisp exterior and a sweet, fluffy middle.

Yield Makes 10 to 12 (side dish) servings

Number Of Ingredients 8

2 cups water
4 cups olive oil
2 cups all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon salt
1 large egg, separated
8 ears corn
1 garlic clove
a deep-fat thermometer

Steps:

  • Combine water and 1/4 cup oil in a small bowl. Whisk together flour and salt in a large bowl, then add liquid in a slow stream, whisking until combined well. Whisk in yolk until smooth.
  • Beat egg white in another small bowl with cleaned whisk or an electric mixer until soft peaks form, then fold into batter. Let batter stand at room temperature 1 hour.
  • Cut corn kernels from cobs using a large knife without cutting very deeply into cobs, then, working in a shallow dish, scrape cobs with back of knife to release remaining kernels and liquid. Gently stir kernels with liquid into batter.
  • Put oven rack in middle position and preheat oven to 200°F.
  • Heat remaining 3 3/4 cups oil with garlic in a 12-inch heavy skillet (about 1 inch deep) over moderately high heat until thermometer registers 375°F. Remove garlic when golden.
  • Fry heaping tablespoons of batter in batches of 6 or 7 in hot oil, without turning, until fritters are deep golden, about 4 minutes. Return oil to 375°F and skim out any bits of batter between batches. Transfer fritters to paper towels with tongs to drain, then transfer to a shallow baking pan and keep warm in oven. Season with salt before serving.
