Crispy fried corn fritters make a tasty
side or appetizer with an accompanying sauce such as salsa.
Corn Fritters
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
2 1/4 teaspoon baking powder
1 teaspoon salt
- 2 cups fresh cut corn kernels (or frozen,
thawed)
1 large egg, separated
3/4 cup milk
1 1/2 teaspoons corn or vegetable oil
Additional oil for deep-frying
- Whisk together the flour, baking powder
and salt.
- In another bowl, beat the egg yolk, milk,
and corn oil together. Gradually add the flour mixture.
- Beat the egg white until stiff; fold it
into the batter. Gently fold in the corn.
- Heat oil in deep fryer or deep skillet
to 365°F (185°C). Drop batter by tablespoonfuls into hot oil,
cooking just a few at a time. Do not overcrowd the pan. Fry until
fritters are puffed and browned, turning once. Drain fritters
on a paper towel. Serve hot.
Makes about 24.
