Cuisine: American
Serves: 6 servings
Ingredients
- 1 cup corn kernels
- 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
- 2 eggs
- 1/4 cup milk
- 1/4 cup fresh herbs (parsley, chives, etc.)
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Oil for frying
Instructions
- In a large mixing bowl, combine corn kernels, all-purpose flour, chopped fresh herbs, salt, and pepper. Mix thoroughly to ensure even distribution of ingredients.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together eggs and milk until well blended. Pour the egg mixture into the corn and flour mixture, stirring gently to create a consistent batter.
- Heat vegetable oil in a large skillet or deep fryer to 375°F (190°C). The oil should be deep enough to allow fritters to float while cooking.
- Using a tablespoon or small scoop, carefully drop batter portions into the hot oil. Avoid overcrowding the pan to ensure even cooking.
- Fry each fritter for 2-3 minutes per side, or until they turn golden brown and crispy. Use a slotted spoon to turn the fritters halfway through cooking.
- Remove fritters from oil and place on a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil and maintain crispiness.
- Allow fritters to cool for 2-3 minutes before serving. Garnish with additional fresh herbs if desired.
- Serve warm as an appetizer, side dish, or light main course. Optionally, pair with a dipping sauce like sour cream or herb aioli.
Tips
- Use fresh corn kernels for the best flavor and texture. If using frozen corn, make sure to thoroughly drain and pat dry to prevent excess moisture.
- Maintain the oil temperature at a consistent 375°F (190°C) for perfectly crispy fritters. Use a cooking thermometer to ensure accuracy.
- Don't overmix the batter - gently combine ingredients to keep the fritters light and airy.
- For extra flavor, experiment with different herb combinations like basil, thyme, or dill.
- If the batter seems too runny, add a bit more flour; if too thick, thin with a little more milk.
- Work in small batches when frying to prevent overcrowding and ensure even cooking.
- Serve immediately for maximum crispiness, or keep warm in a low-temperature oven if preparing in advance.
