Savory Corn Fritters With Sauteed Vegetables Recipes

SAVORY CORN FRITTERS

Steps:

• In a large bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, salt, garlic powder, black pepper and ground cayenne. Whisk in the flour and baking powder until just combined. Stir in the corn, scallions and Cheddar.
• Heat a cast-iron skillet over medium-low and add enough oil to generously coat the bottom of the skillet.
• Once the oil is shimmering hot, add a heaping tablespoon of the batter to the skillet. Use the back of the spoon to flatten it into a round patty. Repeat to fry 3 to 4 fritters at once. Fry on each side until golden, about 2 minutes, then cook for an additional 2 minutes. Add more oil as needed.
• Remove from the skillet and transfer to a paper towel-lined baking sheet. Repeat until all fritters are fried. Serve warm or at room temperature.

FRESH SWEET CORN FRITTERS

Steps:

• Whisk flour and baking powder into a bowl and mix in corn kernels. Whisk egg yolks with cream in a small bowl and stir into the corn mixture; season with salt and black pepper.

• Pour vegetable oil into a deep heavy skillet to a depth of 3 inches. Heat to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C).

MAMIE'S CORN FRITTERS

Steps:

• Combine creamed corn, flour, milk, egg, sugar, salt, 2 teaspoons oil, baking powder, vanilla extract, and pepper in a bowl to create a thick batter. Add more flour to the mixture if it seems too thin.
• Heat oil in a large deep skillet over medium-high heat.
• Test the readiness of the oil by dropping a small drop of batter into the oil; it should immediately start to bubble and cook, indicating that the oil is hot enough. Carefully drop tablespoons of batter into the hot oil. Cook no more than 4 fritters at a time to avoid cooling the oil, which causes the fritters to absorb more oil than necessary.
• Cook fritters in the hot oil for 1 1/2 to 2 minutes. Turn over and cook until both sides are golden brown, about 1 minute more. Lift from the oil and place on a paper towel to drain. Continue with remaining batter.
