Ingredients
- 2 cups fresh or frozen corn kernels (thawed if frozen)
- 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
- 1/4 cup cornmeal
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 large egg
- 1/4 cup milk
- 2 tablespoons chopped fresh chives or green onions
- Vegetable oil for frying
Instructions
- In a large bowl, whisk together flour, cornmeal, baking powder, salt, and pepper.
- In a small bowl, beat the egg and milk together. Pour into the dry ingredients and stir until just combined.
- Fold in the corn kernels and chives until evenly distributed.
- Heat about 1/4 inch of vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat until shimmering.
- Drop spoonfuls (about 2 tablespoons each) of batter into the hot oil, flattening slightly with the back of the spoon. Fry in batches, being careful not to overcrowd.
- Cook until golden brown, about 2-3 minutes per side. Transfer to a paper towel-lined plate to drain.
- Serve warm with sour cream, salsa, or maple syrup if desired.
Tips
- For extra flavor, add 1/4 cup grated cheddar cheese or 1/4 teaspoon smoked paprika to the batter.
- These fritters are best served fresh, but can be reheated in a toaster oven or air fryer.
- To make gluten-free, substitute all-purpose flour with a gluten-free blend and use gluten-free cornmeal.
