Corn Oysters Recipes

CORN OYSTERS

Steps:

• Holding the base of an ear of corn in a medium bowl, slice downward, cutting halfway through the kernels. Using the back of the knife or a small spoon, scrape downward along the cob to extract the milk, letting it fall into the bowl with the cut kernels. Cut again along the cob, this time cutting close enough to remove the remaining half of the kernels. Repeat with the remaining ears.
• In a small bowl, whisk the egg yolks until pale and slightly thickened, about 2 minutes. Then add the yolks to the corn. Stir in the heavy cream and jalapeno.
• Stir the flour, baking powder, salt, cayenne, and sugar together in a bowl. Then stir the flour mixture into the corn mixture until just combined. Do not overmix.
• Beat the egg whites until medium to stiff peaks form. Fold the whites into the corn mixture until thoroughly combined.
• Fill a heavy-bottomed Dutch oven or a deep iron skillet halfway with vegetable oil (so it is 2 to 4 inches deep). Heat the oil over medium-high heat until it reaches 350 degrees.
• When the oil is hot, carefully add 2-tablespoon scoops of the corn mixture, working in batches and being careful not to overcrowd the pan. (While they are cooking, the fritters may spatter hot oil, so be careful; a splatter screen may come in handy.) Fry the fritters for 6 minutes, or until they are golden and cooked through, turning them as needed for even color. Remove, and drain on a paper towel-lined plate. Season with the Essence, and serve immediately.

FRIED OYSTERS

Steps:

• Heat oil in a deep fryer to 350 degrees F.
• Whisk together the buttermilk, garlic powder, paprika and hot sauce in a casserole dish. Whisk together the flour, cornmeal, salt and pepper together in a separate casserole dish.
• Add the oysters to the buttermilk and let soak. Then remove, letting the excess drip off, and dredge through the cornmeal mixture, tapping off the excess. Fry in the hot oil in batches, until golden and crisp, about 2 minutes. Remove to a paper towel-lined plate and sprinkle with salt and pepper. Serve hot with the Remoulade Sauce.
• Mix together the mayonnaise, mustard, paprika, vinegar, Worcestershire sauce and hot sauce in a small bowl until well combined. Season with salt and pepper. Serve immediately or cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate until serving.

CORN OYSTERS

Steps:

• Preheat oil to 375 degrees.
• Slice kernels off corn and remove any lingering silk. Place kernels in medium bowl.
• Add 4 tablespoons flour, yolks, salt, pepper and maple sugar. Knead the mixture through your fingers, bruising the kernels. This will release the corn's ''milk'' and help prevent small explosions when frying. The final consistency should be that of loose oatmeal. If it is too loose, add more flour.
• Beat egg whites and carefully fold into mixture.
• Drop mixture by tablespoonfuls (slide off spoon with your finger) into the hot fat. Cook 2 minutes on each side; drain thoroughly and serve with spicy tartar sauce (see recipe).

CORN OYSTERS

Steps:

• Grate the kernals from the cob into a medium bowl using the large holes of a box grater. Using the back of a knife, scrape any pulp remaining on the cobs into the bowl with the grated corn. Stir in the flour, cornstarch, eggs, salt, and remaining baking powder until well blended.
• Heat the oil in a Dutch oven over medium heat until it registers 350 degrees. Carefully drop 13 to 15 heaping T of batter into the hot oil and fry, turning once, until the corn oysters puff and are golden brown on both sides, about 2 minutes. Transfer to a paper-towel-lined plate. Add more oil to the pot if necessary and heat to 350 degrees. Repeat with remaining batter. Sprinkle the corn oysters with salt. Serve immediately.
• NOTE FROM TEST KITCHEN: Use only fresh corn for this recipe-frozen corn is too dry to produce a creamy batter. Be sure to keep temperature at 350, too low and the oysters become sodden with oil, too high and they become too dark before they are done.
