Corn Fritters

These fritters really come out moist, with a crunchy outside and great flavor. I used some corn from My Dad's Sweet Corn, fresh from the market. Really outstanding (despite a little salt overload on the one in the back!)! We skipped the powdered sugar because of the carbs.


Ingredients:

• Oil, for frying
• 2 cups all-purpose flour
• 1 T baking powder
• 1/2 t salt
• 4 T sugar (or Splenda)
• 2 large eggs, beaten
• 1 cup milk
• 4 T butter, melted
• 1 cup corn kernels (drained or if fresh, towel dried)
• powdered sugar (optional)

1. Heat oil to 350° F.

2. In a bowl mix sift together the flour, baking powder, salt, and sugar.

3. In a separate bowl mix together the eggs, milk, and butter.

4. Whisk the egg mixture into the dry ingredients and stir in the corn.

5. Drop by tablespoons into hot oil, frying for about 5 minutes or until golden brown.

6. Sprinkle with powdered sugar and serve warm.
