Puffy Skillet Corn Fritters Recipes

QUICK AND EASY CORN FRITTERS

Steps:

• In a large bowl, stir together the corn kernels, flour, sugar, baking powder, 1/2 teaspoon salt and 1/4 teaspoon pepper.
• Stir in the eggs and heavy cream until the batter is well-combined.
• Line a plate with paper towels. Coat the bottom of a large sauté pan with vegetable oil and place it over medium-high heat. Once the oil is hot, scoop 2- to 3-tablespoon mounds of the corn batter into the pan, spreading it lightly into a flat, circular shape. Cook the fritters for 2 to 3 minutes, then flip them once and cook them an additional 3 minutes until they're golden brown and cooked through. Transfer the fritters to the paper towel-lined plate, season them immediately with salt and repeat the cooking process with the remaining batter, adding more oil to the pan as needed.
• Garnish the corn fritters with scallions and serve them with sour cream or garlic aioli for dipping.

PUFFY SKILLET CORN FRITTERS

Steps:

• 1. In a medium saucepan, melt butter. Add corn, green pepper, and onion. Cook, covered, for 8 minutes, stirring occasionally. Cool slightly.
• 2. In a mixing bowl combine flour, baking powder, salt, and pepper. Add eggs, milk, and hot pepper sauce. Mix well. Stir in slightly cooled vegetable mixture.
• 3. In a large skillet, heat cooking oil over medium heat. Drop corn mixture by heaping tablespoonfuls, 4 or 5 at a time, into hot oil. Flatten slightly with the back of a spoon. Cook about 4 minutes or until brown, turning once. (If fritters brown too quickly, reduce heat.) Drain on paper towels. Serve warm with meat or poultry. Makes twelve

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!

FRESH SWEET CORN FRITTERS

Steps:

• Whisk flour and baking powder into a bowl and mix in corn kernels. Whisk egg yolks with cream in a small bowl and stir into the corn mixture; season with salt and black pepper. Beat egg whites with an electric mixer until fluffy and stiff peaks form in a separate bowl. Gently fold egg whites into the batter, retaining as much volume as possible.
• Pour vegetable oil into a deep heavy skillet to a depth of 3 inches. Heat to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C).
• Drop fritters into the hot oil, 2 to 3 tablespoons at a time, and cook until golden brown, 2 to 3 minutes per side. Drain fritters on paper towels and serve drizzled with cane syrup.
