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

Steps:

  • Combine creamed corn, flour, milk, egg, sugar, salt, 2 teaspoons oil, baking powder, vanilla extract, and pepper in a bowl to create a thick batter. Add more flour to the mixture if it seems too thin.
  • 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.

Mama used to make this as soon as the fresh corn came in. It is similar to creamed corn in sweetness but the kernels are left whole. A great summertime dish. When my boys whine enough in the winter I will make this with frozen corn.
