Servings 6 fritters
Calories 148kcal
Ingredients
- 3 cups corn if using frozen, thaw first
- 2 jalapenos diced
- ¾ cup all purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- ½ teaspoon salt
- ¼ teaspoon pepper
- 1 large egg
- ¼ cup milk
- vegetable oil for frying
Instructions
- In a bowl, add your corn and diced jalapenos. Then, add your dry ingredients: flour, baking powder, salt, and pepper. Toss to combine. Add your wet ingredients: egg and milk, stirring until ingredients are fully incorporated.
- In a skillet over medium heat, coat the bottom of the pan in vegetable oil.
- Spoon a heaping ½ cup of batter into the pan. Gently flatten the batter and form into a circle.
- Fry for 2-3 minutes per side, or until edges are lightly browned. Transfer to a paper towel lined plate.
- Optionally, serve with a dollop of sour cream or salsa on top.
Notes
- Try using a ½ measuring cup to measure your batter, this will ensure your fritters are equally sized.
- Since the batter is thick, you'll have to help form your fritters into little patties once they're in the pan.
- The most important part about making fritters is to not walk away - they will cook fast. Your fritters will only need about 2-3 minutes per side before needing a flip.
- If needed, add more oil to the pan before starting the next batch.
- If you notice your fritters browning fast, turn the heat down slightly. Every stove top is different, so adjust your temperature if needed.
