| Ingredient | Quantity |
|---|---|
| Fresh corn kernels | 2 cups |
| All-purpose flour | 1 cup |
| Baking powder | 1 teaspoon |
| Salt | ½ teaspoon |
| Black pepper | ¼ teaspoon |
| Milk | ½ cup |
| Large egg | 1 |
| Butter, melted | 2 tablespoons |
| Vegetable oil | For frying |
1. Mix the Dry and Wet Ingredients
In a large bowl, stir together the corn kernels, flour, baking powder, salt, and pepper.
In a separate small bowl, whisk the milk, egg, and melted butter until smooth.
2. Combine Everything
Pour the wet mixture into the dry ingredients and stir until just combined. Don’t overmix—it’s okay if the batter is a little lumpy.
3. Heat the Skillet
Add enough vegetable oil to lightly coat the bottom of a large skillet. Heat over medium until hot but not smoking.
4. Cook the Fritters
Scoop spoonfuls of the batter into the pan, flattening each slightly with the back of the spoon. Cook for 2–3 minutes per side, or until each fritter is golden and crisp.
5. Drain and Serve
Transfer the cooked fritters to a paper towel-lined plate to drain off excess oil. Serve warm and enjoy every crispy bite!
