Corn Fritters Southern Style 12 Recipes

QUICK AND EASY CORN FRITTERS

Steps:

• In a large bowl, stir together the corn kernels, flour, sugar, baking powder, 1/2 teaspoon salt and 1/4 teaspoon pepper.
• Stir in the eggs and heavy cream until the batter is well-combined.
• Line a plate with paper towels. Coat the bottom of a large sauté pan with vegetable oil and place it over medium-high heat. Once the oil is hot, scoop 2- to 3-tablespoon mounds of the corn batter into the pan, spreading it lightly into a flat, circular shape. Cook the fritters for 2 to 3 minutes, then flip them once and cook them an additional 3 minutes until they're golden brown and cooked through. Transfer the fritters to the paper towel-lined plate, season them immediately with salt and repeat the cooking process with the remaining batter, adding more oil to the pan as needed.
• Garnish the corn fritters with scallions and serve them with sour cream or garlic aioli for dipping.

CORN FRITTERS

Steps:

• Place vegetable oil into a heavy bottom pot to a depth of about 3 inches.
• Using a thermometer, heat oil to 350 to 355 degrees.
• Combine dry ingredients in a large bowl.
• Whisk together milk and egg, then pour into the dry ingredients. Add a little more milk if needed. Batter should be thick but smooth.
• Stir in corn.
• Drop fritters into hot oil using a 2 teaspoon scoop (2 spoons work as well.)
• Cook fritters until golden brown, turning once, about 3 to 4 minutes per batch. Do not over crowd pot and adjust heat to keep temperature consistent.
• Drain on paper towels and sprinkle with kosher salt.
• Serve immediately or keep warm in oven.

EASY SOUTHERN CORN FRITTERS

Steps:

• Drain the liquid from the the canned corn. Measure 1/4 cup of it, and discard the rest.
• In a medium sized bowl combine the corn juice you've just measured and the eggs.
• Use a whisk to beat them smooth.
• Add the salt, flour, baking powder and sugar. Mix really well, until there are no lumps.
• Add the drained corn and mix again.
• Heat about 2 tablespoons of bacon grease or margarine in a large iron skillet over medium high heat.
• When the fat is hot, it's time to drop in the fritters. I drop about 1/4 of a cup of batter for each fritter, cooking about 3 or 4 together in the same pan. Fry them just like pancakes, turning them, after the under side is crispy brown. They cook a little slower than pancakes, because they are thicker.
• After they have browned on both sides, transfer them to a plate to keep warm.
• Add more fat to the pan as necessary.
• This recipe makes about 8 or 9 fritters. I usually double it because they are so popular.
• I serve the fritters with applesauce, or Pancake Syrup or just plain with more margarine for the kids. They can take the place of both starch and bread in a meal. For lunch, or a light supper, make Scalloped Tomatoes, Corn Fritters, and serve fruit and yogurt for dessert. Delicious!
