Easy Corn Fritters Recipe
This easy corn fritters recipe is quick to make in less than 30 minutes and uses fresh sweet corn for lots of flavor. It's a side dish that's fun for the whole family to make using just a handful of ingredients and one mixing bowl.
Ingredients
- 3 cups sweet corn kernels 4 ears of corn
- ½ cup all-purpose flour
- 2 tablespoons chopped cilantro
- 1 teaspoon coarse kosher salt
- 1 teaspoon black pepper
- 2 large eggs beaten
- Vegetable or canola oil for frying
Instructions
- In a medium bowl, mix together corn, flour, cilantro, salt and pepper until well combined.
- Add beaten eggs and mix well.
- Heat a large skillet over medium high heat. (I use 12-inch nonstick skillet pan.) Add oil enough to cover the bottom of the pan and heat it until nice and hot.
- Drop about 6 fritters into the hot skillet, about ¼ cup of corn mixture for each fritter, and flatten them a bit.
- Cook the fritters until golden brown, about 2 minutes. Using a spatula, flip the fritters and cook for another 2 minutes, or until golden brown.
- Transfer fritters onto baking sheet lined with wire rack. Repeat with the remaining mixture.
- Serve immediately. If not serving immediately, keep the fritters warm in oven at 200°F so that the texture stays nice and crisp on the outside.
Notes
Note 1: These corn fritters are especially good when served with barbecue meats, like these bbq ribs, or smoked beef brisket.
Storing Tips:
- Store leftover corn fritters in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days.
- Reheat leftover fritters in a skillet over medium heat for a couple of minutes on each side. This will help the outside of the fritters re-crisp.
- Freezing the corn fritters works well too, just be sure to reheat them in the skillet or in the toaster oven so they aren't too soggy after thawing.
