There is something so satisfying about the crunch of a golden corn fritter. These are perfect for using up fresh corn during the summer, but you can certainly use frozen corn kernels at any time of year.

My secret for the best results is to make sure your pan is nice and hot before adding the batter. This ensures they get that beautiful golden crust while staying soft and tender on the inside.

Ingredients

  • 2 cups fresh or frozen corn kernels
  • 1 cup all purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1/4 cup whole milk
  • 2 tablespoons melted butter
  • 2 tablespoons vegetable oil for frying

Instructions

  1. 1

    In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, salt, and pepper.

  2. 2

    Add the corn kernels, eggs, milk, and melted butter to the bowl.

  3. 3

    Stir everything together until just combined, being careful not to overmix the batter.

  4. 4

    Heat the vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium heat.

  5. 5

    Scoop about two tablespoons of batter per fritter into the skillet, flattening them slightly with the back of your spoon.

  6. 6

    Cook for three to four minutes per side until they are deep golden brown and crispy.

  7. 7

    Remove from the pan and let them drain briefly on a paper towel before serving.

💡 Tips

Serve these warm with a dollop of sour cream or your favorite salsa on top. If you have leftovers, store them in the fridge in an airtight container for up to two days and reheat them in a toaster oven to bring back the crispiness.
