Ingredients

The following ingredients have 4 Servings
  • 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon fine sea salt
  • 3/4 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon cumin
  • 1/4 teaspoon sugar
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground white pepper
  • 1 large egg (room temperature)
  • 1/4 cup whole milk
  • 1 tablespoon unsalted butter (melted)
  • 2 cups corn kernels
  • 1/4 cup scallions (, finely chopped )
  • vegetable oil (enough to fill 1/4 inch your skillet or frying pan)

Instruction

  • In a large bowl whisk together flour, salt, baking powder, cumin, sugar and ground white pepper.
  • In a second mixing bowl bowl, combine wet ingredients including egg, milk and butter.
  • Mix dry ingredients with wet ingredients until just combined. Much like pancakes, you do not want to over beat.
  • Fold in corn and scallions. Allow batter to sit for 15 minutes, preferably chilled.
  • Heat 1/4 inch of vegetable oil in skillet over medium-high heat to 325°F-350°F.
  • Spoon approximately 1 heaping tablespoon of batter into hot oil. Fry for about 2-3 minutes, turning halfway. Fritters will be a golden brown.
  • Remove to a wire rack suspended over a paper towel lined baking sheet to drain. If you are making a large batch I recommend keeping them warm in the oven while frying.
