Quick and Easy Corn Fritters image

Celebrate summer with a quick and easy recipe for corn fritters that can be made with fresh or frozen corn kernels.

Provided by Kelly Senyei

Time 15m

Number Of Ingredients 9

3 cups corn kernels (See Kelly's Note)
1 cup all-purpose flour
1 Tablespoon sugar
1 teaspoon baking powder
2 large eggs, lightly beaten
3/4 cup heavy cream
Vegetable oil, for frying
Sliced scallions, for serving
Sour cream or garlic aioli, for serving

Steps:

  • In a large bowl, stir together the corn kernels, flour, sugar, baking powder, 1/2 teaspoon salt and 1/4 teaspoon pepper.
  • 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 sauté pan with vegetable 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 for 2 to 3 minutes, then flip them once and cook them an additional 3 minutes until they're golden brown and cooked through. 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 scallions and serve them with sour cream or garlic aioli for dipping.

Categories     Side Dish     Vegetables     Corn

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.

GRANDMA'S CORN FRITTERS



Grandma's Corn Fritters image

This one has been in our family for as long as I can remember. A long time ago my grandma used to use fresh corn, but as the family got BIG and there were a lot of mouths to feed (more to make too) she went to can corn just to make it faster. I cut the recipe in half.

Yield 16 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 6

2 (15 ounce) cans whole kernel corn
4 eggs, slightly beaten
4 tablespoons milk
3 tablespoons butter, melted
salt and pepper (optional)
flour

Steps:

  • Combine corn, eggs, milk, butter, salt and pepper to taste, if using.

  • Heat 1/2 inch of oil in frying pan.
  • Form patties whatever size you'd like, I do small ones so my kids can hold them.
  • Fry in hot oil until golden brown.
  • Serve as side dish OR if you left out the salt and pepper serve with syrup on the side.
  • You can also dust with powdered sugar.
