Servings: 8 small fritters
Calories: 47kcal
Ingredients
- 1 cup Corn kernels if using canned, drain and rinse off the brine
- ½ cup All purpose flour aka plain flour
- ¼ cup Scallions finely sliced
- ¼ cup Milk dairy free
- ½ teaspoon Salt or to taste
- ½ teaspoon Cracked black pepper or to taste
- 1 Neutral oil Optional see notes. Use as needed.
Instructions
- In a medium bowl, toss the corn kernels and scallions in the flour, with the salt and pepper. Ensure the flour is evenly coating the corn and scallions. See note 1. Add the milk to the floured corn and mix this through, this should result in a thick batter.1 cup Corn kernels, ½ cup All purpose flour, ¼ cup Scallions, ½ teaspoon Salt, ½ teaspoon Cracked black pepper, ¼ cup Milk
- Heat up a non-stick frying pan or griddle. I like to heat up my pan on high and then turn it to medium heat once it is hot. If you are using a griddle, turn it to high, once it is hot, turn it down one or two notches. If using oil (such as vegetable oil or avocado oil), make sure it is hot oil prior to pan frying. You don't need too much oil - these fritters can be pan fried without oil too.Cook the corn fritters by placing a spoonful of the corn mixture on the pan or griddle, about an ⅛ of a cup size (I like making small fritters)and then gently flattening with the back of a spoon.1 Neutral oil
- Let it fry for about 1½ minutes before flipping and then fry the other side for 1½ minutes. A spatula should easily be able to slide under the fritter to flip if it doesn’t let the fritter fry for another 30 seconds or so. Flip two more times or until golden brown. Use paper towels to line a plate and to place the crispy fritters onto to soak up excess oil. Repeat until all the remaining batter is used. Serve warm with your favorite sauce, see serving suggestions in above post.

Notes
Note 1 - if you are adding extra flavorings, add it in step one.
Note 2 - I am using a gas stove when I am not using my griddle, cooking times and the amount of heat required will vary.
