Corn Fritters

Category: Pastry > Savory > Corn Fritter

Fritters come in many varieties. Sweet or savory, you can mix a bunch of different things into the batter. Apples, for a sweet fritter, are often popular. I liken fritters to a fried pancakes. When I was growing up, corn fritters were a special breakfast treat served on Christmas morning and other holidays.



Recipe:

  • 1 cup Flour
  • 1 tsp. Baking Powder
  • 1 tsp. Salt
  • 1 tsp. Sugar
  • 2 Eggs
  • 1/2 Milk
  • 1 tsp. Vegetable Oil
  • 1/2 cup Corn


Mix flour, baking powder, salt, and sugar together. Add eggs, milk, and vegetable oil. Mix until smooth. Mix in corn. Heat about 3 inches of oil in a deep skillet to 375 degrees. Drop small pancake size batter into oil. Fry about 5 minutes or until thoroughly cooked.

Baking Tips:

  • If your oil doesn't cover your fritter in the pan, you can flip it over half way through the cooking time. Just be careful when flipping in hot oil.
  • As you finish cooking the fritters, you can place them in an oven set to warm until you are finished cooking them all.
  • You can half the recipe if you don't want to make as many fritters.
