Instructions

  1. 1

    Whisk the flour, cornmeal, baking powder, sugar, and salt together in a bowl.

  2. 2

    Beat the eggs and milk together in a separate bowl.

  3. 3

    Stir the wet mixture into the dry mixture. Mix just until a thick batter forms.

  4. 4

    Gently stir in the corn kernels.

  5. 5

    Heat oil to 365°F in a deep skillet.

  6. 6

    Drop the batter by heaping tablespoons into the hot oil.

  7. 7

    Fry for 2-3 minutes per side. Cook until deep golden brown.

  8. 8

    Drain the fritters on paper towels and serve warm.

Chef's tips

Keep the batter thick and drop it with a spoon so the fritters hold their shape while frying.

Storage

Store cooled fritters in an airtight container in the fridge up to 3 days.

Reheating

Reheat in a 375°F oven for 6-8 minutes to re-crisp.

Common mistakes to avoid

  • •Making the batter too thin, which causes the fritters to spread and turn greasy.
  • •Using oil that is not hot enough, resulting in soggy fritters.

Serving suggestions

Serve with maple syrup for breakfast or a squeeze of lime for a savory side dish.Pair with fried chicken at a summer supper.
