• Perfectly crispy and flavorful
• Versatile and customizable
• Great for using fresh or frozen corn
• Can be served with a variety of dips

Ingredients

• 1 cup fresh or frozen corn kernels
• 1 cup all-purpose flour
• 1 teaspoon baking powder
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
• 2 large eggs
• 1/2 cup milk
• 2 tablespoons chopped fresh chives or green onions (optional)
• Oil for frying (such as vegetable or canola oil)

How to Make Savory Corn Fritters

1. In a large bowl, combine the flour, baking powder, salt, and black pepper. Mix well to ensure even distribution of the dry ingredients.
2. Add the corn kernels to the bowl and stir to coat them in the flour mixture.
3. In a separate bowl, whisk together the eggs and milk until well combined.
4. Pour the egg mixture into the bowl with the dry ingredients and corn. If using, fold in the chopped chives or green onions. Mix until just combined; do not overmix.
5. Heat about 1/4 inch of oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Once the oil is hot, use a spoon or small ice cream scoop to drop batter into the skillet, forming fritters about 3 inches in diameter.
6. Cook the fritters for about 3-4 minutes on each side, or until they are golden brown and crispy. You may need to work in batches to avoid overcrowding the pan.
7. Once cooked, transfer the fritters to a paper towel-lined plate to drain any excess oil. Serve warm with your favorite dipping sauce.

Tips for the Best Results

• Ensure your oil is hot enough before adding the fritters to achieve a crispy texture.
• For extra flavor, consider adding spices like paprika or cumin to the batter.
• If the batter seems too thick, add a splash more milk to reach your desired consistency.

Easy Variations

• Add diced jalapeños for a spicy kick.
• Incorporate shredded cheese (like cheddar or feta) for cheesy corn fritters.
• Mix in finely chopped bell peppers or zucchini for added vegetables.

What to Serve With It

• A creamy avocado dip or guacamole
• Sour cream or Greek yogurt with a sprinkle of chives
• A fresh tomato salsa for a bright contrast
• A side of crispy bacon or sausage links
• A simple green salad for a balanced meal
