Corn Fritters With Raspberry Mayonnaise Recipes

EXTRA CRISPY CORN FRITTERS

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 120°C / 250°F and set a wire rack on a baking tray.
• Place flour, cornflour and baking soda in a bowl, mix to combine.
• Add egg and milk, mix until incorporated (batter will be lumpy and thick).
• Add corn, parmesan, green onions and coriander. Mix until all the corn is evenly coated in batter.
• Add enough oil into the skillet so it just covers the base. Heat over medium high heat.
• Spray the underside of a spatula with oil (so batter won't stick when you flatten).
• Place 1/4 cup batter into skillet (ice cream scooper with lever is handy), then flatten to 1cm thick. Repeat with 2 or 3 more, but don't crowd the skillet.
• Cook 3 minutes until deep golden and crisp, then flip and cook the other side for 2 - 3 minutes.
• Transfer to rack and keep warm in oven. Repeat with remaining fritters, using more oil as necessary.
• Serve with sauce of choice for dunking!

CRISPY RICE CORN FRITTERS

Steps:

• In a medium bowl, stir together the rice, green onions, corn, cheddar, pimentos and basil. In another medium bowl, whisk together the eggs, paprika, salt and pepper, then pour over the rice mixture and stir to combine. Let the mixture sit for 5 minutes.
• Meanwhile, fill a large cast-iron skillet with 1/4 inch of oil and heat the oil over medium-high heat until it shimmers. Line a baking sheet with paper towels and set it nearby.
• Scoop 1/4 cup of the rice mixture, pressing it down lightly in the measuring cup, then turn it out into the hot oil and lightly flatten it. (You can cook 3 or 4 at a time, depending on the size of your skillet.) Fry for 1 1/2 to 2 minutes, until browned underneath. Take care to not move the fritters around after you first add them to the pan so they stay intact while they cook. Gently flip the fritters and cook for another 2 to 2 1/2 minutes. Transfer to the paper towel-lined baking sheet to drain and sprinkle with a bit of salt while warm. Serve with a dollop of sour cream or with the Green Goddess Dip.
• In a food processor, combine the parsley, mint, basil, chives, sour cream, mayonnaise, lemon zest, lemon juice, cream cheese, salt and pepper and process for 3 minutes, stopping and scraping down the sides to make sure all the ingredients are fully incorporated. Taste and add more salt and pepper, if needed. Transfer to a bowl.

RASPBERRY FRITTERS

Steps:

• For the fritters: Combine the lukewarm milk, yeast and 1 teaspoon of the sugar in a large glass measuring cup and stir to dissolve. Let sit until the mixture looks foamy, about 10 minutes.
• Place the flour, salt, orange zest, nutmeg and the remainder of the granulated sugar in the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the dough hook and mix to combine.
• Combine the eggs and vanilla in a small bowl.
• Add the yeast mixture and egg mixture to the dry ingredients. Mix on low speed until the dough comes together, about 3 minutes. Stop and scrape the bowl at least twice. Gradually add the softened butter. Stop and scrape the bowl and mix on medium speed for 6 minutes.
• Spray a large bowl with nonstick baking spray. Place the dough in the greased bowl, cover and allow to proof in a warm place until it doubles in size, about 1 hour.
• Gently punch the dough down. Roll the dough out to a 12-by-18-inch rectangle on a floured surface. Spread the raspberry jam on top, spreading almost all the way to the edges. Sprinkle the fresh raspberries on half of the dough then fold the dough over. Cut the dough into 1/2-inch strips with a bench scraper, then cut the strips into 1/2-inch pieces in a crisscross pattern. Scoop up the pieces and rearrange them, then cut them again in a crisscross pattern.
• Flour your hands well and group the cut pieces into a log that is about 12 inches long and 3 inches wide. Generously flour 2 sheet pans. Cut the log into 12 pieces. Place the pieces on the floured sheet pans. Gently press each mound of dough into a flat round. Cover the pans with plastic wrap and allow the fritters to rise until puffy, 15 to 20 minutes (note that they should not double in size).
• For the glaze: Combine the confectioners' sugar and 3 tablespoons of the freeze-dried raspberries in a food processor and pulse until the raspberries are powdered. Transfer the mixture to a medium bowl. Add the milk and lemon juice. Whisk until incorporated. Set aside.
• Crush the remaining 2 tablespoons freeze-dried raspberries and set aside.
• When ready to fry, pour about 3 inches of oil into a medium Dutch oven or heavy pot and heat until it registers 350 degrees F on a deep-fry thermometer. Carefully and gently place 3 to 4 fritters in the oil. Fry until deeply browned, 1 to 2 minutes, flipping the fritters a couple of times so they cook evenly.
• Remove the fritters with a slotted spoon and place on a wire rack to drain. Continue to fry the fritters, making sure the oil remains at 350 degrees F.
• Dip each fritter into the glaze while it's still warm, coating the top and bottom. Place the dipped fritters on a wire rack to drain, then sprinkle with crushed freeze-dried raspberries. Allow the glaze to set before serving.

CORN FRITTERS WITH RASPBERRY MAYONNAISE

Steps:

• Heat 2 inches of oil in a deep-fryer or large saucepan to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
• Beat pancake mix, milk, and egg together in a bowl; stir in corn and pepper until batter is smooth.
• Working in batches, drop batter by the rounded teaspoonful into hot oil and cook fritters until golden brown, 3 to 5 minutes. Transfer cooked fritters to a paper towel-lined plate to drain.
• Melt raspberry preserves in a saucepan over low heat; remove from heat and stir mayonnaise into preserves until smooth. Serve fritters with raspberry mayonnaise.

CRAB AND CORN FRITTERS WITH FRESH CORN MAYO

Steps:

• Melt the butter in a small saucepan over medium heat. Add the corn and cook, stirring as needed, for about 2 minutes. Remove from the heat.
• In a medium bowl, sift the flour, baking powder, sugar, salt, and cayenne together.
• In a small bowl, whisk the milk, eggs, hot sauce, and Worcestershire together to combine. Make a well in the dry ingredients and pour the wet into it. Combine gently with a whisk, then, with a rubber spatula, gently fold in the corn and crabmeat, taking care to not break up the lumps of crab.
• Add enough oil to come halfway up the side of a deep-sided cast iron skillet or Dutch oven or to the fill line of an electric fryer and preheat to 325 degrees F.
• Working in batches of 6 to 8 and using a 2-tablespoon scoop (like a melon baller or ice cream scoop), carefully drop the fritter batter into the oil. You don't want the fritters browning too fast, so don't allow the temperature of the oil to go higher than 325 degrees F or to drop below 300 degrees F; adjust the heat under the pot as needed. Cover the pot with a splatter screen or the vented top if using an electric fryer to protect yourself, as individual corn kernels will pop and fly if they make contact with the hot oil. As the fritters float to the top, roll them over in the hot oil to brown them evenly. When they are golden on all sides, which will take 5 to 6 minutes per batch, use tongs, a slotted spoon, or a spider to transfer them to paper towels to drain. Season with salt immediately so the salt sticks to the fritters, if desired. Repeat until you use up all the batter.
• Serve hot with the Fresh Corn Mayo.
