Ingredients
- 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon fine sea salt
- 3/4 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon cumin
- 1/4 teaspoon sugar
- 1/4 teaspoon ground white pepper
- 1 large egg room temperature
- 1/4 cup whole milk
- 1 tablespoon unsalted butter melted
- 2 cups corn kernels
- 1/4 cup scallions , finely chopped
- vegetable oil enough to fill 1/4 inch your skillet or frying pan
Instructions
- In a large bowl whisk together flour, salt, baking powder, cumin, sugar and ground white pepper.
- In a second mixing bowl bowl, combine wet ingredients including egg, milk and butter.
- Mix dry ingredients with wet ingredients until just combined. Much like pancakes, you do not want to over beat.
- Fold in corn and scallions. Allow batter to sit for 15 minutes, preferably chilled.
- Heat 1/4 inch of vegetable oil in skillet over medium-high heat to 325°F-350°F.
- Spoon approximately 1 heaping tablespoon of batter into hot oil. Fry for about 2-3 minutes, turning halfway. Fritters will be a golden brown.
- Remove to a wire rack suspended over a paper towel lined baking sheet to drain. If you are making a large batch I recommend keeping them warm in the oven while frying.
