Ingredients
- 1 cup fresh corn kernels (about 2 ears of corn)
- 1 cup cornmeal
- 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
- 2 large eggs
- 1/2 cup milk
- 1/4 cup chopped fresh herbs (such as parsley, cilantro, or chives)
- 1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper (optional, for heat)
- 2 tablespoons olive oil (for frying)
- 1/4 cup sour cream or yogurt (for serving)
- Fresh herbs for garnish
How to Make Savory Corn Fritters
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the cornmeal, flour, baking powder, salt, black pepper, and cayenne pepper if using.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together the eggs and milk until well combined.
- Add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients, stirring until just combined. Gently fold in the corn kernels and chopped herbs.
- Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat.
- Once hot, drop spoonfuls of batter into the skillet, flattening them slightly with the back of a spatula. Cook for about 3-4 minutes on each side or until golden brown.
- Repeat with the remaining batter, adding more oil as needed. Remove fritters from the skillet and place them on a paper towel-lined plate to absorb excess oil.
- Serve warm, garnished with fresh herbs and a dollop of sour cream or yogurt.
Tips for the Best Results
To ensure your fritters are perfectly crispy, make sure your skillet is hot before adding the batter. Don’t overcrowd the pan; this allows the fritters to fry evenly. Feel free to adjust the herbs based on your preference or what you have on hand.
Easy Variations
- Add diced jalapeños for a spicy kick.
- Incorporate grated cheese for a rich, gooey texture.
- Substitute zucchini for half of the corn for a veggie twist.
- Use different herbs like dill or basil to switch up the flavor profile.
What to Serve With It
- Fresh garden salad with a light vinaigrette.
- Spicy avocado dip or guacamole.
- Grilled meats or seafood for a heartier meal.
- As part of a brunch spread alongside eggs and toast.
Storage and Reheating
Store any leftover fritters in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. To reheat, simply place them in a hot skillet for a few minutes on each side until warmed through and crispy again.
