Good Ol Corn Fritters Food

EXTRA CRISPY CORN FRITTERS

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.
• Serve with sauce of choice for dunking!

QUICK AND EASY CORN FRITTERS

Steps:

• Stir together the corn kernels, flour, sugar, baking powder, 1/2 teaspoon salt and 1/4 teaspoon pepper in a large bowl. 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 saute pan with 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 until golden brown, 2 to 3 minutes, then flip and cook until golden brown and cooked through, about 3 minutes. 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 the scallions and serve them with sour cream or aioli for dipping.

CORN FRITTERS

Steps:

• Whisk 3/4 cup flour, 1 teaspoon kosher salt and 1/4 teaspoon each baking powder and pepper in a bowl. Whisk 1/2 cup milk and 2 eggs in another bowl; stir in the flour mixture. Add 2 cups corn, 1/4 cup each chopped cilantro and scallions, 1 chopped jalapeno and the zest and juice of 1/2 lime. Cook 1/4 cupfuls in a skillet with olive oil, 2 minutes per side. Serve with Greek yogurt.

SWEETCORN FRITTERS

Steps:

• Mix the flour, baking powder, paprika and milk together in a large bowl. Mix in the egg, followed by the sweetcorn, chopped spring onions, chives, parsley, 1 tsp salt and some freshly ground black pepper.
• Heat a 1cm depth of oil in a frying pan over a medium heat until a small amount of the fritter mixture sizzles when dropped in. For larger fritters, drop 2 heaped tablespoons of the mixture into the pan at a time in a clockwise direction (this will help you remember the order they were added to the pan, so you can flip them at the right stage). For smaller fritters, do the same, but with 1 heaped tablespoon of mixture at a time.
• After 2 mins, flip the fritters over in the same order they were added to the pan. Cook for another 2 mins, continuing to turn every now and then to ensure both sides are evenly golden brown. When ready, the fritters should be darker brown with crispy pieces of corn at the edges - be careful, as some of the kernels may burst during the cooking process. Remove to a wire rack and pat away any excess oil using kitchen paper. Serve straightaway with a few strips of spring onion scattered over, if you like.

OLD FASHIONED CORN FRITTERS

Steps:

• Combine flour and powder in a large bowl.
• In a medium bowl, beat eggs and milk.
• Stir in corn and butter.
• Stir gradually into dry ingredients until just blended.
• In a deep fryer, electric frying pan or chicken fryer, heat oil until 375 degrees.
• Drop batter into heaping teaspoonfuls into hot oil and fry for 2- 3 minutes.
• You can also do this using less oil in a skillet, just flatten them a bit with the back of the spoon and then turn them like pancakes.
• Drain on paper towels.
• Some people put confectioner's sugar or syrup on these, we eat them plain.
