  • Quick and easy to prepare
  • Perfect for parties or as a snack
  • Customizable with your favorite spices
  • Deliciously paired with a spicy dipping sauce

Ingredients

  • 1 cup fresh or frozen corn kernels
  • 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1/4 cup cornmeal
  • 1 large egg
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon paprika
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1/4 cup breadcrumbs
  • 1/4 cup milk
  • Vegetable oil for frying
  • 1/4 cup mayonnaise
  • 1 tablespoon Sriracha sauce (or more to taste)
  • 1 teaspoon lime juice

How to Make Crispy Corn Fritters

  1. In a large mixing bowl, combine the corn, flour, cornmeal, egg, baking powder, garlic powder, paprika, salt, black pepper, and milk. Mix until well combined.
  2. Fold in the breadcrumbs to add extra crunch to the fritters.
  3. Heat about 1/2 inch of vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium heat until shimmering.
  4. Using a spoon or an ice cream scoop, drop spoonfuls of the corn mixture into the hot oil. Flatten them slightly with the back of the spoon for even cooking.
  5. Fry the fritters for about 3-4 minutes on each side, or until they are golden brown and crispy. Avoid overcrowding the pan; fry in batches if necessary.
  6. Once cooked, transfer the fritters to a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil.
  7. In a small bowl, mix together mayonnaise, Sriracha, and lime juice to create your spicy dipping sauce.
  8. Serve the crispy corn fritters hot with the spicy dipping sauce on the side.

Tips for the Best Results

  • For a lighter texture, separate the egg and beat the egg white until stiff peaks form, then fold it into the mixture just before frying.
  • Ensure your oil is hot enough for frying by testing with a small drop of batter; it should sizzle immediately.
  • Keep cooked fritters warm in a low oven (200°F) while you fry the remaining batches.

Easy Variations

  • Add finely chopped herbs like cilantro or parsley for a fresh twist.
  • Incorporate diced jalapeños for extra heat.
  • Swap out the spices for your favorite seasoning blend, like taco seasoning or curry powder.

What to Serve With It

  • A fresh green salad with a tangy vinaigrette
  • Creamy avocado slices
  • Grilled chicken or shrimp for a heartier meal
  • Extra dipping sauces like ranch or garlic aioli

Storage and Reheating

Store any leftover fritters in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. To reheat, place them in a preheated oven at 350°F for about 10-15 minutes until warmed through and crispy.
