Ingredients
- 2 cups Corn kernels
- 1 cup All-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon Baking powder
- 1 large Egg
- 0.5 cup Milk
- 2 stalks Green onions, chopped
- 2 tablespoons Fresh cilantro, chopped
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper, freshly ground
- 0.5 cup Vegetable oil (for frying)
- 0.5 cup Sweet chili sauce (store-bought or homemade)
Directions
Step 1
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, salt, and black pepper.
Step 2
In a separate small bowl, beat the egg and milk together until well combined.
Step 3
Slowly pour the wet mixture into the dry ingredients, stirring until the batter is smooth and free of lumps.
Step 4
Fold in the corn kernels, chopped green onions, and chopped cilantro until evenly incorporated.
Step 5
Heat the vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium heat. The oil should be hot but not smoking.
Step 6
Using a tablespoon, drop spoonfuls of the batter into the skillet, leaving enough space between each fritter to avoid overcrowding.
Step 7
Cook the fritters for 2-3 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and crisp. Use a slotted spatula to flip them carefully.
Step 8
Remove the cooked fritters and transfer them to a plate lined with paper towels to drain any excess oil.
Step 9
Serve the corn fritters warm with sweet chili sauce on the side for dipping.
