Ingredients:
- 2 cups (340g) corn kernels
- 1/2 cup (65g) all-purpose flour
- 1/4 cup (40g) yellow cornmeal
- 1 tsp (5g) baking powder
- 1/2 tsp (3g) salt
- 1/4 tsp (1g) black pepper
- 1 large egg, beaten
- 1/4 cup (60ml) whole milk
- 2 tbsp (30g) melted unsalted butter, cooled
- 1/2 cup (120ml) neutral oil
Instructions:
- In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, cornmeal, baking powder, salt, and pepper.
- In a separate small bowl, combine the beaten egg, milk, and melted butter.
- Pour the wet ingredients into the dry, stirring with a spatula until just combined.
- Fold in the corn kernels until the batter is thick and holds its shape.
- Heat the neutral oil in a skillet over medium-high heat until a pinch of batter sizzles and rises immediately.
- Use a cookie scoop to drop 2-tablespoon mounds of batter into the pan, gently pressing each into a patty about 1/2 inch thick.
- Fry for 3 minutes per side until they reach a deep, mahogany-colored golden brown.
- Immediately transfer the fritters to a wire cooling rack to drain.
