Crispy Cornmeal Fritters Food

ZUCCHINI-CORN FRITTERS

Steps:

• Toss the zucchini with 1/2 teaspoon salt in a medium bowl; let stand 10 minutes. Wrap the zucchini in a kitchen towel and squeeze dry.
• Meanwhile, heat the butter in a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Add the onion and garlic and cook, stirring occasionally, until slightly softened, about 4 minutes. Add the corn and cook, stirring occasionally, until crisp-tender, about 3 minutes. Set aside.
• Whisk the cornmeal, flour, baking soda, 3/4 teaspoon salt and 1/4 teaspoon pepper in a medium bowl. Whisk the buttermilk and egg in a large bowl, then stir in the corn-onion mixture and zucchini. Add the cornmeal mixture and stir until just combined.
• Wipe out the skillet the corn-onion mixture cooked in. Pour in about 1/8 inch vegetable oil and place over medium heat. Working in batches, scoop scant 1/4 cupfuls of the batter into the oil and use the back of the measuring cup to flatten the scoops. Cook until the fritters are golden brown, 3 to 4 minutes per side. Drain on paper towels and sprinkle with salt. Serve warm or at room temperature. (You can make the fritters up to 2 hours ahead; reheat in a 375 degrees F oven on a rack set on a baking sheet.)

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 120°C / 250°F and set a wire rack on a baking tray.
• Place flour, cornflour and baking soda in a bowl, mix to combine.
• Add egg and milk, mix until incorporated (batter will be lumpy and thick).
• Add corn, parmesan, green onions and coriander. Mix until all the corn is evenly coated in batter.
• Add enough oil into the skillet so it just covers the base. Heat over medium high heat.
• Spray the underside of a spatula with oil (so batter won't stick when you flatten).
• Place 1/4 cup batter into skillet (ice cream scooper with lever is handy), then flatten to 1cm thick. Repeat with 2 or 3 more, but don't crowd the skillet.
• Cook 3 minutes until deep golden and crisp, then flip and cook the other side for 2 - 3 minutes.
• Transfer to rack and keep warm in oven. Repeat with remaining fritters, using more oil as necessary.
