Fret Not Corn Fritters

Ingredients

  • 3 cups fresh or frozen corn kernels (about 3 ears)
  • 1/2 medium jalapeño pepper, seeded and minced
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1/2 cup whole milk
  • 1/2 cup vegetable oil
  • 1/4 cup chopped green onions
  • 2 tbsp fresh chives, finely chopped
  • 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 tbsp granulated sugar
  • 2 tbsp fine white cornmeal
  • 1 tsp kosher salt
  • 1/2 tsp cayenne pepper
  • 2 tsp baking powder

Preparation Instructions

  1. Whisk the flour, cornmeal, sugar, baking powder, salt, and cayenne pepper together in a large bowl.
  2. Add the corn, jalapeño, green onions, and chives. Toss until the vegetables are coated.
  3. Mix the milk and eggs together in a measuring cup until incorporated, then pour into the flour and corn mixture. Stir with a spatula until the flour is gently mixed thoroughly. The batter will be thick, but you shouldn’t overmix it. Set aside while you heat the oil.
  4. In a large ceramic non-stick frying pan, heat oil over medium heat until shimmering. Drop 4 large spoonfuls of the batter evenly around the pan and flatten each slightly with the back of a spoon or a spatula. Cook until edges begin to set and bottom is golden brown, 2 to 3 minutes. Flip with a spatula and cook until puffed, brown and cooked through, 2 to 3 minutes more. If using frozen corn kernels, they may need an additional 1 to 2 minutes per side. Transfer the fritters to paper towels with a spatula. Finish making fritters with the remaining batter.
  5. Transfer finished fritters to a plate and serve warm.
