Sugar Dusted Corn Fritters Recipes

CORN FRITTERS

Steps:

• In a large bowl, stir together flour, cornmeal, sugar, baking powder, 1 1/2 teaspoons salt, and cayenne. Add milk and egg to flour mixture and stir together to create a batter. Add corn and fold to combine.
• Heat 4 inches oil in a large heavy-bottomed pot or Dutch oven over high heat until a deep-fry thermometer reaches 375 degrees. Working in batches, using a small ice cream scoop or two spoons, drop batter by the tablespoon into the oil. Cook, turning occasionally, until cooked through and deep-golden brown, 1 to 2 minutes; adjust heat as needed to keep oil temperature between 350 and 360 degrees. Transfer fritters to a paper-towel-lined baking sheet. Season to taste with salt, and serve immediately with honey.

GREEN CHILE CORN FRITTERS

Steps:

• In a large bowl, whisk the first 8 ingredients. In another bowl, whisk egg and milk until blended. Add to dry ingredients, stirring just until moistened. Let stand 5 minutes. Fold in corn and green chiles., In a deep cast-iron or electric skillet, heat oil to 375°. Drop batter by tablespoonfuls, a few at a time, into hot oil. Fry until golden brown, 1 to 1-1/2 minutes on each side. Drain on paper towels. Serve with desired condiments.

SUPER QUICK CORN FRITTERS

Steps:

• Combine all ingredients in a mixing bowl.
• In a large skillet, heat vegetable oil that is approximately 1/2 deep.
• When ready, drop batter into hot oil by approximately 1 Tablespoon per (these will puff up right away). When they begin to brown around the edges, flip & cook for another 2-3 minutes. This usually takes me 2-3 batches to complete.
• Remove from skillet & drain on paper towels. Serve while hot & crispy.
• I like them best w/out powdered sugar (which is optional after frying) & use these as a side dish to a warm, hearty soup but they're also good on they're own, as a snack food. Enjoy!

THE BEST FRESH CORN FRITTERS

Steps:

• Salsa:.
• Position an oven rack about 4 inches below the broiler and heat the broiler on high. Arrange the tomatoes and garlic on a rimmed baking sheet and broil until the tomatoes are charred on one side, about 5 minutes. Turn the tomatoes and garlic and char on the second side, about 2 minutes longer. Let cool. Peel the tomatoes and garlic, discarding the skins and saving any juices that are released.
• In a blender, briefly purée the tomatoes and their juices, the garlic, chipotle chile, and 1/2 teaspoons salt-it needn't be perfectly smooth.
• In a medium, heavy-based saucepan, heat the oil over medium-high heat. When a drop of the puréed tomato mixture sizzles when added, pour in the remaining purée. Bring to a boil, stirring frequently. Adjust the heat to an active simmer and continue to cook, stirring frequently, until reduced to a scant cup and thickened to a sauce consistency, 8 to 12 minutes. Cool to room temperature. Stir in the cilantro and the lime juice. Season to taste with salt. Serve at room temperature.
• Fritters:.
• In a medium bowl, stir the flour, cornmeal, baking powder, sugar, and salt. In a small bowl, whisk the milk, sour cream, and eggs. With a rubber spatula, gently stir the egg mixture into the flour mixture until just blended. Stir in the corn. Let sit for 10 to 15 minutes. Meanwhile, position a rack in the center of the oven and heat the oven to 200°F.
• Pour the oil into a small, heavy frying pan, preferably cast iron, to a depth of 1/2 inch. Heat over medium heat until it's hot enough that a small dollop of batter sizzles when added. With a spring-lever miniature ice cream scoop or a tablespoon, scoop up a ball of the batter and gently release it into the hot oil. Add three or four more balls of batter to the hot oil, taking care not to crowd the pan. Reduce the heat to medium low so that the fritters cook gently. When golden brown on the bottom and barely cooked around the top edge, after 1 to 2 minutes, use a slotted spatula to turn the fritters and cook until golden on the bottom, 1 to 2 minutes longer.
• Transfer the fritters to a wire rack set over a baking sheet, sprinkle generously with salt, and keep warm in the oven. Continue to cook the remaining batter in small batches, adding more oil as needed to maintain the 1/2-inch depth. Serve right away with the salsa.

SUGAR-DUSTED CORN FRITTERS

Steps:

• Beat the egg, milk and sugar together.
• Sift the dry ingredients and add to the egg mixture.
• (If using sifted flour, you can just mix the dry ingredients together well and still get excellent results).
• Add the melted butter or margarine (or oil) and beat or stir briskly by hand until well blended.
• Stir or fold in the corn until evenly distributed.
• Drop by tablespoons into hot deep fat (375 degrees) and cook until golden brown.
• Drain on paper towels.
• Place on plates and dust with confectioner's sugar if desired. These are best if served with maple syrup.
• Notes: I usually try one first.
• If I find the oil is bubbling through the fritter, which would make it too greasy, I'll add a little more flour to the batter to prevent that.
• Also, as a shortcut, instead of deep frying, I usually pour 2 or 3 inches of oil into a large saucepan or electric frying pan and fry that way.
• When one side is brown, I just turn and brown the other side.
