Ingredients
- 1 cup fresh or frozen corn kernels
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 2 large eggs
- 1/2 cup milk
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
- 2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley (or other herbs of choice)
- Vegetable oil for frying
How to Make Savory Corn Fritters
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the flour, baking powder, salt, and black pepper. Mix well.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together the eggs and milk until fully combined.
- Pour the egg mixture into the dry ingredients and stir until just combined. Be careful not to overmix; a few lumps are okay.
- Gently fold in the corn kernels and chopped parsley until evenly distributed throughout the batter.
- Heat a skillet or frying pan over medium heat and add enough vegetable oil to coat the bottom of the pan.
- Once the oil is hot, drop spoonfuls of the batter onto the skillet, flattening them slightly with the back of the spoon. Cook for about 3-4 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and crispy.
- Transfer the cooked fritters to a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil. Repeat with the remaining batter.
- Serve warm, garnished with additional parsley if desired.
Tips for the Best Results
- Ensure your oil is hot enough before adding the fritters to achieve a crispy texture.
- Don’t overcrowd the pan; cook in batches if necessary to maintain the temperature of the oil.
- Experiment with different herbs and spices for unique flavor profiles.
Easy Variations
- Add diced bell peppers or jalapeños for a spicy kick.
- Mix in shredded cheese for a cheesy twist.
- Substitute the parsley with cilantro or chives for a different flavor.
- Try adding a pinch of cayenne pepper for some heat.
What to Serve With It
- A dollop of sour cream or Greek yogurt.
- Spicy salsa or pico de gallo.
- Avocado slices or guacamole.
- A simple green salad with vinaigrette.
- Fresh fruit for a sweet contrast.
