LOBSTER CORN FRITTERS



Lobster Corn Fritters image

Provided by Ina Garten

Time 35m

Yield 4 to 6 servings (12 to 14 fritters)

Number Of Ingredients 17

6 to 8 tablespoons (3/4 to 1 stick) unsalted butter
5 scallions, thinly sliced
1 1/4 cups fresh corn kernels (2 to 3 ears)
12 ounces freshly cooked lobster meat, 1/4-inch-diced
1 cup all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon baking powder
1 teaspoon paprika
3/4 teaspoon Old Bay seasoning
Kosher salt
2 extra-large eggs, lightly beaten
1/2 cup half-and-half
2 teaspoons minced garlic (2 cloves)
1/2 teaspoon saffron threads
2 teaspoons sriracha chili sauce
1 tablespoon freshly squeezed lemon juice
2/3 cup good mayonnaise, such as Hellmann's
Freshly ground black pepper

Steps:

  • Melt 2 tablespoons of the butter in a medium (10-inch) saute pan over medium heat. Add the scallions and corn and saute for 3 minutes, or until softened. Add the lobster and cook for 1 minute. Set aside.
  • Combine the flour, baking powder, paprika, Old Bay seasoning, and 1 teaspoon salt in a large mixing bowl. Make a well in the center and whisk in the eggs and half-and-half, stirring until the mixture is smooth, like a thick pancake batter. Stir in the corn and lobster mixture. (The batter may be made up to an hour ahead and refrigerated.)
  • For the sauce, place the garlic, saffron, sriracha, lemon juice, mayonnaise, 1/2 teaspoon salt, and 1/4 teaspoon pepper in the bowl of a food processor fitted with the steel blade and puree until smooth.
  • To make the fritters, heat 2 to 3 tablespoons of the butter in a large (12-inch) saute pan over medium to medium-high heat. For each fritter, drop 2 rounded tablespoons of the batter into the hot butter and cook for 2 to 3 minutes on each side, until golden brown and firm to the touch. Don't crowd the skillet or they won't brown evenly. Repeat until all the batter is used, adding butter as necessary. Serve the fritters hot with a dollop of sauce on the side.

EASY SOUTHERN CORN FRITTERS



Easy Southern Corn Fritters image

Make and share this Easy Southern Corn Fritters recipe from Food.com.

Provided by Maggie

Categories     Breads

Time 45m

Yield 9 fritters

Number Of Ingredients 7

15 ounces corn (drain and reserve juice)
2 medium eggs
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 cup flour
1 teaspoon baking powder
1 teaspoon sugar
bacon grease (for frying) or margarine (for frying)

Steps:

  • Drain the liquid from the the canned corn. Measure 1/4 cup of it, and discard the rest.
  • In a medium sized bowl combine the corn juice you've just measured and the eggs.
  • Use a whisk to beat them smooth.
  • Add the salt, flour, baking powder and sugar. Mix really well, until there are no lumps.
  • Add the drained corn and mix again.
  • Heat about 2 tablespoons of bacon grease or margarine in a large iron skillet over medium high heat.
  • When the fat is hot, it's time to drop in the fritters. I drop about 1/4 of a cup of batter for each fritter, cooking about 3 or 4 together in the same pan. Fry them just like pancakes, turning them, after the under side is crispy brown. They cook a little slower than pancakes, because they are thicker.
  • After they have browned on both sides, transfer them to a plate to keep warm.
  • Add more fat to the pan as necessary.
  • This recipe makes about 8 or 9 fritters. I usually double it because they are so popular.
  • I serve the fritters with applesauce, or Pancake Syrup or just plain with more margarine for the kids. They can take the place of both starch and bread in a meal. For lunch, or a light supper, make Scalloped Tomatoes, Corn Fritters, and serve fruit and yogurt for dessert. Delicious!

CRAB AND CORN FRITTERS WITH FRESH CORN MAYO



Crab and Corn Fritters with Fresh Corn Mayo image

Recipe courtesy Emeril Lagasse, adapted from Essential Emeril: Favorite Recipes and Hard-Won Wisdom From My Life in the Kitchen, Oxmoor House, 2015, courtesy Martha Stewart Living Omnimedia, Inc.

Provided by Martha Stewart

Categories     Food & Cooking     Appetizers

Yield Makes about 3 dozen

Number Of Ingredients 15

1 tablespoon unsalted butter
Corn kernels cut from 3 ears
2 cups all-purpose flour
1 tablespoon baking powder
2 1/2 teaspoons sugar
1 1/2 teaspoons salt
1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper
1 cup whole milk
3 large eggs
1 tablespoon hot sauce
1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
1 pound fresh jumbo lump crabmeat, picked over for shells and cartilage
Vegetable oil for frying
Coarse sea salt or kosher salt, for serving (optional)
Fresh Corn Mayo, for serving

Steps:

  • Melt the butter in a small saucepan over medium heat. Add the corn and cook, stirring as needed, for about 2 minutes. Remove from the heat.
  • In a medium bowl, sift the flour, baking powder, sugar, salt, and cayenne together.
  • In a small bowl, whisk the milk, eggs, hot sauce, and Worcestershire together to combine. Make a well in the dry ingredients and pour the wet into it. Combine gently with a whisk, then, with a rubber spatula, gently fold in the corn and crabmeat, taking care to not break up the lumps of crab.
  • Add enough oil to come halfway up the side of a deep-sided cast iron skillet or Dutch oven or to the fill line of an electric fryer and preheat to 325 degrees F.
  • Working in batches of 6 to 8 and using a 2-tablespoon scoop (like a melon baller or ice cream scoop), carefully drop the fritter batter into the oil. You don't want the fritters browning too fast, so don't allow the temperature of the oil to go higher than 325 degrees F or to drop below 300 degrees F; adjust the heat under the pot as needed. Cover the pot with a splatter screen or the vented top if using an electric fryer to protect yourself, as individual corn kernels will pop and fly if they make contact with the hot oil. As the fritters float to the top, roll them over in the hot oil to brown them evenly. When they are golden on all sides, which will take 5 to 6 minutes per batch, use tongs, a slotted spoon, or a spider to transfer them to paper towels to drain. Season with salt immediately so the salt sticks to the fritters, if desired. Repeat until you use up all the batter.
  • Serve hot with the Fresh Corn Mayo.

Time 40m

Yield 24

Number Of Ingredients 11

1 (14.75 ounce) can creamed corn
¾ cup all-purpose flour, or as needed
½ cup milk
1 egg, beaten
¼ cup white sugar
2 ½ teaspoons salt
2 teaspoons vegetable oil
2 teaspoons baking powder

1 dash ground black pepper
¼ cup oil for frying, or as needed

Steps:

  • Heat oil in a large deep skillet over medium-high heat.
  • Test the readiness of the oil by dropping a small drop of batter into the oil; it should immediately start to bubble and cook, indicating that the oil is hot enough. Carefully drop tablespoons of batter into the hot oil. Cook no more than 4 fritters at a time to avoid cooling the oil, which causes the fritters to absorb more oil than necessary.
  • Cook fritters in the hot oil for 1 1/2 to 2 minutes. Turn over and cook until both sides are golden brown, about 1 minute more. Lift from the oil and place on a paper towel to drain. Continue with remaining batter.

Tips:

  • Use fresh or frozen corn kernels. Frozen corn kernels can be used without thawing, but fresh corn kernels will give your fritters a sweeter, more flavorful taste.
  • Add some grated vegetables to the batter. This will add extra flavor and nutrients to your fritters. Good options include carrots, zucchini, and bell peppers.
  • Use a non-stick skillet or griddle to cook the fritters. This will prevent them from sticking and will help them cook evenly.
  • Serve the fritters hot with your favorite toppings. Some popular options include butter, maple syrup, and fruit preserves.
