Ingredients

- 2 tablespoons granulated sugar

- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 cup milk
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- Vegetable oil for frying
- 1/2 cup caramel sauce (store-bought or homemade)
How to Make Sweet Corn Fritters with Caramel Sauce
- In a mixing bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt. Mix well to ensure all dry ingredients are evenly distributed.
- In another bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, and vanilla extract until smooth.
- Add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients and stir until just combined. Be careful not to overmix; a few lumps are perfectly fine.
- Gently fold in the sweet corn kernels until they are evenly incorporated into the batter.
- In a large skillet, heat about 1/4 inch of vegetable oil over medium heat until shimmering.
- Using a spoon or small ice cream scoop, drop heaping tablespoons of the batter into the hot oil. Fry the fritters for about 2-3 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and cooked through.
- Once cooked, transfer the fritters to a plate lined with paper towels to drain excess oil.
- Serve warm, drizzled with caramel sauce.
Tips for the Best Results
- Make sure your oil is hot enough before frying to achieve a crispy exterior.
- For extra flavor, consider adding spices such as cinnamon or nutmeg to the batter.
- If using frozen corn, thaw and drain it well to avoid excess moisture in the batter.
Easy Variations
- Add chopped jalapeños for a spicy kick.
- Mix in shredded cheese for a savory twist.
- Substitute half of the flour with cornmeal for a different texture.
What to Serve With It
- A scoop of vanilla ice cream for a delightful contrast.
- Fresh fruit salad for a refreshing side.
- A dollop of whipped cream for added creaminess.
