Ingredients
- 2 cups Corn kernels (fresh, canned, or frozen)
- 1 cup All-purpose flour
- 2 large Eggs
- 0.25 cup Milk
- 3 stalks Scallions (chopped)
- 0.25 cup Fresh cilantro (chopped)
- 0.5 teaspoon Red chili flakes
- 1 teaspoon Baking powder
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 0.5 cup Vegetable oil (for frying)
Directions
Step 1
In a large mixing bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, baking powder, salt, and black pepper. Mix thoroughly to evenly distribute the dry ingredients.
Step 2
In a separate bowl, whisk together the eggs and milk until well combined.
Step 3
Slowly pour the egg and milk mixture into the bowl with the dry ingredients, stirring gently to form a smooth batter. Do not overmix.
Step 4
Add the corn kernels, chopped scallions, cilantro, and red chili flakes to the batter. Mix 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, scoop the batter and carefully drop it into the hot oil, forming small fritters. Cook in batches to avoid overcrowding the pan.
Step 7
Fry each fritter for 2-3 minutes per side, or until golden brown and cooked through. Flip carefully using a spatula.
Step 8
Remove the fritters from the skillet and place them on a plate lined with paper towels to drain excess oil.
Step 9
Repeat with the remaining batter until all the fritters are cooked.
Step 10
Serve warm with your favorite dipping sauce, a dollop of sour cream, or a fresh salad on the side.
