Ingredients
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 0.5 cup cornmeal
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1 tablespoon sugar
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon ground black pepper
- 0.75 cup milk
- 1 large egg
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
- 1.5 cups corn kernels, drained if canned or thawed if frozen
- 1 cup vegetable oil, for frying
Directions
Step 1
In a medium mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, cornmeal, baking powder, sugar, salt, and black pepper.
Step 2
In a separate bowl, combine the milk, egg, and melted butter. Whisk until smooth.
Step 3
Gradually pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients, stirring until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
Step 4
Fold in the corn kernels, ensuring they are evenly distributed throughout the batter.
Step 5
In a large skillet or deep frying pan, heat the vegetable oil over medium heat until it reaches 350°F (175°C) or until a small drop of batter sizzles when added to the oil.
Step 6
Working in small batches, drop heaping tablespoons of batter into the hot oil, being careful not to overcrowd the pan. Flatten slightly with the back of a spoon for even cooking.
Step 7
Fry for 2-3 minutes per side, or until the fritters are golden brown and cooked through. Use a slotted spoon to transfer the fritters to a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil.
Step 8
Repeat with the remaining batter, adjusting the heat as needed to maintain the oil temperature.
Step 9
Serve the fritters warm with your favorite dipping sauce or a drizzle of honey for a sweet touch. Enjoy!
