Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients:
- 3 cups corn kernels (fresh or frozen, thawed)
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 2 large eggs
- 3/4 cup heavy cream
Dry Ingredients:
- 1 tablespoon sugar
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
Cooking and Serving Ingredients:
- Vegetable oil (for frying)
- Sliced scallions (for serving)
- Sour cream or garlic aioli (for serving)
Instructions
- Whisk together corn kernels, flour, sugar, and baking powder in a spacious mixing vessel until ingredients are evenly distributed.
- Incorporate beaten eggs and heavy cream into the dry mixture, stirring carefully to create a smooth, cohesive batter without overmixing.
- Warm vegetable oil in a generously sized skillet, maintaining a consistent medium heat to ensure even cooking.
- Carefully spoon dollops of batter into the heated oil, using a spatula to gently flatten each fritter for optimal thickness and crispiness.
- Allow fritters to sizzle and transform, cooking approximately 2-3 minutes per side until they develop a rich, golden-brown exterior and achieve a crisp texture.
- Transfer freshly fried fritters onto absorbent paper towels to eliminate excess oil and maintain their delightful crunchiness.
- Present the corn fritters while still warm, elegantly garnishing with delicate sliced scallions and offering a complementary side of tangy sour cream or zesty garlic aioli for dipping.
Notes
- Choose fresh or frozen corn for the best flavor and texture, ensuring the kernels are sweet and plump.
- Drain excess moisture from corn to prevent soggy fritters and achieve a crispy exterior.
- Experiment with additional herbs like chives or cilantro to elevate the fritters’ taste profile and add complexity.
- For a gluten-free version, substitute all-purpose flour with cornmeal or almond flour, maintaining the same proportions.
