Corn Fritters

These corn fritters from A Food Coma are awesome! I used some corn from My Dad's Sweet Corn that I had frozen at the height of this year's crop.


Don't skimp on the Sriracha sauce. It's got a kick, but it's not overwhelming.

Ingredients:

• 1 can sweet corn, drained
• 1 red bell pepper, seeded, diced
• 2 green onions, diced
• 1/2 lemon, zested
• 1 egg, beaten lightly
• 1/4 t cumin
• 1/4 t cayenne
• 1/4 cup all-purpose flour
• 1/2 T oil, for frying
• Sriracha sauce
• Sour cream

1. Mix corn, pepper and onions in a bowl.

2. Add the zest, cumin, and cayenne.

3. Add egg and stir well.

4. Slowly add the flour (you may not need it all), stirring as you go. Continue adding flour until the mixture becomes thick, like a pancake batter.

5. Heat oil in a large skillet over medium high heat. Spoon batter into skillet to form small patties. Fry until you notice them browning along the edges, then flip and brown on the other side. Remove and drain on paper towels.

6. Serve topped with a dollop of sour cream and Sriracha sauce.

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.
