• Delightfully crispy and satisfying

Ingredients

• 1 cup fresh sweet corn kernels (about 2 ears of corn)
• 1 cup all-purpose flour
• 1 tablespoon granulated sugar
• 1 teaspoon baking powder
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 1/2 cup milk
• 2 large eggs
• 2 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
• 1/2 cup caramel sauce (store-bought or homemade)
• Oil for frying (vegetable or canola)

How to Make Sweet Corn Fritters with Caramel Sauce

1. In a mixing bowl, combine the flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt. Whisk until well combined.
2. In a separate bowl, whisk together the milk, eggs, and melted butter.
3. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
4. Fold in the sweet corn kernels until evenly distributed throughout the batter.
5. In a large skillet, heat about 1/4 inch of oil over medium heat until shimmering. You can test the oil by dropping a small amount of batter; if it sizzles, it’s ready.
6. Using a tablespoon, drop dollops of the batter into the hot oil, making sure not to overcrowd the pan. Fry for about 3-4 minutes on each side or until golden brown.
7. Once cooked, transfer the fritters to a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil.
8. Serve warm, drizzled with caramel sauce.

Tips for the Best Results

• Make sure your oil is hot enough before adding the batter to achieve crispy fritters.
• Use fresh corn for the best flavor; frozen corn can work if fresh is unavailable, but be sure to thaw it first.
• Let the batter rest for a few minutes for fluffier fritters.

Easy Variations

• Add diced jalapeños or bell peppers for a spicy kick.
• Mix in shredded cheese for a savory twist.
• Substitute half of the corn with zucchini for a different flavor profile.
• Top with whipped cream or a scoop of vanilla ice cream instead of caramel for a refreshing alternative.

What to Serve With It

• A side of fresh fruit for a light contrast
• A dollop of whipped cream
• Ice cream for an indulgent dessert
• Maple syrup for an alternative sweet drizzle
