Time 20m

Yield 12-16 Fritters

Number Of Ingredients 12

375 g fresh corn kernels or 375 g frozen corn kernels
1/2 cup plain flour (all purpose flour)
1/2 cup rice flour
1/4 teaspoon baking powder
1 teaspoon ground coriander
1/2 teaspoon cumin
1/2 teaspoon chili powder (optional but I use it)
1 medium yellow onion
1 stalk celery
1 egg, beaten
3/4 cup water
good squeeze lemon juice

Steps:

Sift the flours, baking powder & spices into a bowl.
Cut onion into strips from top to bottom.
Slice celery finely.
Mix the water, egg & lemon juice, add to the flour mixture, beating till smooth. (Extra water may need to added to get correct consistency of batter).
stir in the corn, onion and celery.
heat vegetable oil in a frying to a depth of 1/2 - 3/4 inch.
When oil is hot, drop large spoonfuls of mixture into the oil, spreading it with the back of a spoon to make a circle of about 3".
Fry until the underside of the fritter is golden brown then flip over and do other side.
Lift out and drain on absorbent paper placed on a wire rack. This helps keep the fritters crisp.
finish them off with a liberal sprinkle of sea salt and a squeeze of lemon.
NOTE: The rice flour is what makes these babies extra crispy! I always use frozen extra sweet corn kernels.

Savory Corn Fritters image

Provided by Vallery Lomas

Time 30m

Yield 18 fritters

Number Of Ingredients 12

2 large eggs
2/3 cup whole milk
1 teaspoon fine sea salt
1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
1/2 teaspoon ground cayenne
1 cup all-purpose flour
2 teaspoons baking powder
3 cups corn kernels, fresh or frozen and thawed (about 1 pound)
1/4 cup chopped scallion greens
1 cup sharp Cheddar, shredded
Vegetable oil, coconut oil or shortening, for frying

Steps:

In a large bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, salt, garlic powder, black pepper and ground cayenne. Whisk in the flour and baking powder until just combined. Stir in the corn, scallions and Cheddar.
Heat a cast-iron skillet over medium-low and add enough oil to generously coat the bottom of the skillet.
Once the oil is shimmering hot, add a heaping tablespoon of the batter to the skillet. Use the back of the spoon to flatten it into a round patty. Repeat to fry 3 to 4 fritters at once. Fry on each side until golden, about 2 minutes, then cook for an additional 2 minutes. Add more oil as needed.
Remove from the skillet and transfer to a paper towel-lined baking sheet. Repeat until all fritters are fried. Serve warm or at room temperature.
