Ingredients
- 1 cup canned creamed corn
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1 tablespoon granulated sugar
- 2 large eggs
- 0.25 cup milk
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 cup vegetable oil (for frying)
- 1 tablespoon powdered sugar (optional, for garnish)
Directions
Step 1
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, sugar, salt, and black pepper until well combined.
Step 2
In a separate bowl, beat the eggs and stir in the milk and creamed corn.
Step 3
Gradually add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients, stirring until just combined. Be careful not to overmix; the batter should be slightly lumpy.
Step 4
Heat the vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium heat until it reaches 350°F (175°C). Test by dropping a small amount of batter into the oil—if it sizzles, it’s ready.
Step 5
Using a tablespoon or small ice cream scoop, carefully drop dollops of batter into the hot oil, being cautious not to overcrowd the skillet.
Step 6
Fry each fritter for 2-3 minutes per side, or until golden brown and crispy. Use a slotted spoon to transfer the fritters to a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil.
Step 7
Repeat with the remaining batter, reheating the oil as necessary between batches.
Step 8
Serve the fritters warm, optionally dusted with powdered sugar for a hint of sweetness or alongside your favorite dipping sauce.
