Recipe Ingredients
- 100 grams plain flour
- 2 eggs, at room temperature
- 100 millilitres milk, at room temperature (optional: water)
- 300 grams corn kernels, canned
- 1 medium-sized carrot, grated
- 1 red onion, chopped
- 1 garlic clove, minced
- 50 grams Parmesan cheese
- 1 tablespoon fresh parsley, chopped
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- Salt to taste
- Ground black pepper to taste
- Vegetable oil for frying
Methods
1. Prepare the Ingredients
Wash and drain 300 grams of canned corn kernels. Grate a medium-sized carrot. Set both of the ingredients aside.
2. Prepare the Batter
In a large bowl, whisk together 100 grams of plain flour, 2 eggs, and 100 millilitres of milk.
Fold in the diced red onion, minced garlic clove, grated carrot, chopped fresh parsley, 50 grams of Parmesan cheese, and 300 grams of corn kernels.
Add 1 teaspoon baking powder as well as salt and ground black pepper and stir until well combined.
3. Fry the Corn Fritters
Heat a few tablespoons of vegetable oil in a large frying pan over medium heat. For each fritter, pour about two tablespoons of batter into the pan and spread it lightly to form a round shape. Fry for about 3-4 minutes on each side until golden brown and crispy.
4. Serve
Transfer the fried Corn Fritters to a plate lined with paper towels to drain any excess oil.
Serve them hot with a dipping sauce or a spread, or serve them in buns for a delicious sandwich.
Tips for Perfect Corn Fritters
Adjust the Consistency: If the batter seems too thick, you can add a splash of milk or water to adjust the consistency.
Add Cornmeal: For even more crunch, add a few tablespoons of cornmeal to the batter.
Don’t Overload: To ensure even cooking and a crispy texture, do not overcrowd the frying pan when frying.
Proper Storage
In the Refrigerator: After baking, allow the fritters to cool completely. If they are stored while they are still warm, condensation can form and make them soggy. Place the fritters in an airtight container or wrap them in cling film. Store them in the refrigerator for up to 2 days.
In the Freezer: Allow the fritters to cool completely. Wrap them individually in cling film and then place them in a freezer-safe container or bag. The Corn Fritters can be frozen for up to 1 month.
Reheating: To preserve their crispiness, reheat the fritters in the oven at 180°C (350°F) for about 5-10 minutes, or until heated through.
Variations
Spicy Corn Fritters: For a spicy touch, add diced jalapeños or chilli flakes to the batter. You can also combine it with a Sriracha or chipotle sauce.
Cheesy Corn Fritters: Experiment with mixing in additional cheese like Mozzarella, Cheddar, or even Feta for a gooey, savoury bite.
Vegetable Corn Fritters: Add finely grated zucchini for an extra serving of vegetables. Be sure to squeeze out any excess moisture from the zucchini before adding them to the batter.
