Yield Makes 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 18

Fritters:
2/3 cup yellow cornmeal
3 tablespoons all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon sugar
1/8 teaspoon baking soda
1/8 teaspoon salt
1/2 cup buttermilk
1 large egg
2/3 cup fresh corn kernels
1/2 cup diced red onion
1/2 cup diced red bell pepper
Corn oil (for frying)
Crème fraîche
6 ounces Dungeness crabmeat, picked over, patted dry, flaked
1/2 cup crème fraîche or sour cream
1/4 cup finely chopped fresh chives plus additional chives for garnish
1/4 teaspoon ground white pepper
Pinch of cayenne pepper

Steps:

  • For fritters:
  • Mix first 5 ingredients in medium bowl. Whisk buttermilk and egg in small bowl to blend. Stir egg mixture into dry ingredients, then stir in corn kernels, onion, and bell pepper (do not overmix).
  • Pour enough oil into large skillet to coat bottom. Heat oil over medium heat. Working in batches, drop 1 scant tablespoon batter for each fritter into hot skillet; spread each to 2-inch round. Fry until golden, about 2 minutes per side. Transfer to baking sheet. (Can be made ahead. Let stand at room temperature up to 2 hours or cover and chill overnight. Bake uncovered in 350°F oven until heated through, 6 to 8 minutes.)
  • For crème fraîche:
  • Place crabmeat in medium bowl. Fold in crème fraîche, 1/4 cup chives, white pepper, and cayenne. Season with salt. (Can be made 2 hours ahead. Cover; chill. Stir before using.)
  • Arrange warm fritters on platter. Top with crab mixture and garnish with additional chives.

I'm not sure what went wrong, but my fritters turned out really dry. I think I might have overcooked them.

The fritters were a bit bland for my taste. I think I would add some more spices next time.

I'm not a big fan of crab, but I thought these fritters were still pretty good. The corn flavor was really strong and the crème fraîche added a nice touch.

These fritters were a bit too oily for my taste, but the flavor was good. I think I would try baking them instead of frying them next time.

I love corn fritters, and this recipe is one of the best I've tried. The fritters were light and airy, and the crab and corn filling was delicious. I will definitely be making these again.

The fritters were easy to make and turned out crispy on the outside and fluffy on the inside. The crab and corn filling was flavorful and complemented the crème fraîche perfectly.

These corn fritters were a hit at my brunch party! The combination of sweet corn and savory crab was perfect, and the crème fraîche added a delicious tang. I will definitely be making these again.
