Got some sweet corn in the fridge? Let’s make delicious corn fritters! These are fantastic for a quick snack or a satisfying accompaniment to a cold beer. They offer a delightful contrast of textures and a satisfying sweet and savory flavor profile.
Ingredients for Delicious Corn Fritters
- 1 can (drained) Sweet Corn
- Approx. 3 Tbsp Pancake Mix (adjust for desired consistency)
- Sweetened Condensed Milk (optional, for added sweetness)
Cooking Instructions
Step 1
First, thoroughly drain the liquid from the can of sweet corn. You can use a sieve or pat it dry with paper towels. Removing excess moisture is crucial to prevent the batter from becoming too watery and to avoid oil splattering while frying.
Step 2
In a bowl, combine the drained sweet corn and the pancake mix. Mix until the batter is of a droppable consistency – not too thin, not too thick. The amount of pancake mix can be adjusted based on the corn quantity and your preference for texture. More mix will help the fritters hold their shape better, but using less allows the corn’s natural sweetness to shine through.
Step 3
Heat a generous amount of cooking oil in a frying pan over medium heat. Spoon portions of the batter into the hot oil to form fritters. Fry them until golden brown and crispy on both sides. Cooking over medium heat ensures they are cooked through without burning.
Step 4
Once the fritters are cooked and golden, drizzle with sweetened condensed milk if desired. The sweetness of the condensed milk complements the savory corn beautifully, creating a delightful flavor combination.
Step 5
Enjoy your freshly made corn fritters immediately! They are best served warm when they are at their crispiest.
