Ingredients
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 0.5 cup cornmeal
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1 tablespoon sugar
- 0.5 teaspoon ground paprika
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
- 0.75 cup milk
- 1 unit large egg
- 2 tablespoons butter, melted and cooled
- 1 cup sweet corn kernels (fresh, frozen, or canned)
- 2 tablespoons green onions, finely chopped
- 2 cups vegetable oil (for frying)
Directions
Step 1
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, cornmeal, baking powder, sugar, ground paprika, salt, and black pepper.
Step 2
In a separate bowl, whisk together the milk, egg, and melted butter until well combined.
Step 3
Gradually pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients, stirring until just combined. Do not overmix.
Step 4
Fold in the sweet corn kernels and chopped green onions until evenly distributed throughout the batter.
Step 5
Heat the vegetable oil in a deep skillet or heavy-bottomed pot over medium-high heat until it reaches 350°F (175°C).
Step 6
Using a small cookie scoop or spoon, carefully drop dollops of batter (about 1 to 1.5 tablespoons each) into the hot oil. Do not overcrowd the pot.
Step 7
Fry the fritters for 2 to 3 minutes on each side, or until they are golden brown and cooked through. Use a slotted spoon to transfer them to a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil.
Step 8
Repeat with the remaining batter, ensuring the oil maintains the right temperature.
Step 9
Serve the corn ball fritters warm with a dipping sauce of your choice, such as spicy mayo or ranch dressing. Enjoy!
