1 can (15 oz) of whole kernel corn, drained
1 cup all-purpose flour
1/2 cup milk
1 large egg
1/2 tsp baking powder
1/4 tsp salt
1/4 tsp black pepper
1/4 cup chopped green onions (optional)
2 tbsp butter, melted (plus more for frying)
Vegetable oil for frying
In a large bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, salt, and pepper.
Add milk and egg to the dry ingredients and stir until smooth.
Stir in the drained corn and chopped green onions (optional).
Heat a skillet or frying pan over medium heat and add a little butter or oil.
Drop spoonfuls of the corn mixture into the skillet, flattening them slightly to form fritters.
Fry for 2-3 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and crispy.
Remove the fritters and place them on a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil.
Repeat until all fritters are cooked.
Serve immediately with your favorite dipping sauce or enjoy on their own!
For a cheesy twist, add shredded cheese to the batter.
Spice it up with jalapeños or cayenne pepper for a spicy version.
Make the fritters gluten-free by substituting a gluten-free flour blend.
