Ingredients & Equipment You’ll Need

The corn brings the sweetness and pop to the fritters, and I’m telling you, don’t skimp on that milk. It makes all the difference in the fluffiness of your fritters! If you’re allergic to eggs or are vegan, you can switch out the egg with a “flax egg”.
How To Make Corn Fritters
- Begin by mixing your flour, baking powder, salt, and pepper in a bowl.
- In a separate bowl, whisk your egg and milk together before adding it to the dry ingredients. Stir until well combined.
- Add in your corn kernels, mixing carefully to avoid crushing.
- Heat your oil in a pan until hot. Then, drop spoonfuls of the batter into the oil, and flatten them gently.
- Fry each side until golden brown and remove onto a paper towel to drain any excess oil.
Tips For The Best Results
- Do not overmix your batter or it will become dense.
- Fry in small batches to ensure even cooking.
Storage Tips
- Store in an airtight container in the fridge for up to three days.
