Easy Corn Fritters

Ingredients

  • 3 cups fresh corn kernels (about 4 ears
  • 2 green onions, thinly sliced
  • 2 eggs
  • ¾ cup 2% milk
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1 cup cornmeal
  • 1 ½ Tbsp sugar
  • 1 tsp baking powder
  • ½ tsp garlic powder
  • 1 ½ tsp kosher salt
  • Canola oil, for frying
  • Parsley, green onion, sea salt, sour cream, garlic aioli for garnishing

Directions

  • Step 1:

    Using a sharp knife, cut the kernels off the corn cobs. Place the kernels and the sliced green onion in a medium sized bowl stir to combine. Set aside.

  • Step 2:

    In a small bowl, whisk together the eggs and milk. Set aside.

  • Step 3:

    In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, cornmeal, sugar, baking powder, garlic powder, and kosher salt.

  • Step 4:

    Pour the egg-milk mixture into the dry ingredients and stir until combined and a thick batter is formed.

  • Step 5:

    Fold in the corn kernel-green onion mixture.

  • Step 6:

    Add enough canola oil to cover the bottom of a large, non-stick skillet and heat over medium heat.

  • Step 7:

    When oil is ready, place about 1/3 cup batter in the pan and flatten slightly with the back side of the measuring cup.

  • Step 8:

    Fry the fritters in batches that fit the skillet, about 2 to 3 minutes per side, until golden. Add more oil as needed.

  • Step 9:

    Remove and place on a cooling rack or paper towel lined plate.

  • Step 10:

    Top with parsley, sea salt, sour cream, garlic aioli, or green onion as desired.
