A-maize-ing Fritters

Since I was a little girl, my mother always made me corn fritters and they were my favorite (still are actually). However, I tried to create this recipe with a healthier perspective without compromising the flavor. For this recipe, you can either shuck your own corn or use a can of whole kernel corn (to save time). The main ingredients are common items most have in their pantry and I’ve even added some suggestions at the bottom of other items you can incorporate for added flavor.

Left is when I first put them in pan making sure not to crowd them. Right is once flipped.

Ingredients

• Cooking spray
• 1 can 15oz whole kernel corn, drained
• 2 tbsp of grated parmesan cheese
• 1 egg
• 1/4 cup flour
• 1 tsp baking powder
• 1 tsp garlic powder
• 2 tbsp water
• salt & pepper, to taste

Cooking Instructions

1. Mix all ingredients a mixing bowl until well incorporated.
2. Heat a medium sized skillet pan to medium-high heat and spray with cooking spray.
3. Using large spoon, scoop corn fritter mixture and place it in the skillet pan. Continue doing this until all mixture is used. The batter should make roughly 5-6 fritters. Do not crowd the fritters or place them too close to one another. Make sure there is some spacing between them.
4. Cook for 4 minutes untouched.
5. Using a spatula, flip the fritters over and cook for an additional 4 minutes.
6. Remove fritters from pan and place on plate lined with paper towels to remove excess oil.
7. Enjoy!

Note: I sometimes add diced peppers, green onion, grated carrot, bacon or turkey bacon to my fritter batter for added flavor. I do not use other onions (e.g., white, purple) because I would not want the taste to be overpowering.

Also, we dip our fritters in Sir Kensington’s Special Sauce found here.
