Heat over medium heat until it registers 350º on a deep-frying thermometer. Pour oil into a large heavy skillet to a depth of 1/4-inch.Add the flour mixture to the corn mixture and stir just until evenly moistened. In another bowl, combine the flour, sugar, chili powder, salt and pepper.Remove the small bowl, then add the bell pepper, eggs, water and cheese. Cut the kernels from the ear, then scrape the cob with a table knife to release all of the milk. This creates a “stand” to stand the corn on to cut the kernels from the cobs. Turn a small bowl upside down inside a larger bowl.Remove from the heat and allow to cool slightly. Add the corn to the boiling water and boil for 3 minutes. I like to use vegetable oil, but canola works, too. Oil: You’ll want an oil with a high smoke point for frying.

Salt & Pepper: It’s always important to season well!īutter: I use unsalted butter, but since it’s such a small amount, you could easily use salted butter, as well.

Transfer the cooked sweet corn fritters to a cake rack lined with absorbent paper.The perfect use for fresh corn, these Corn Fritters are cheesy, irresistible and melt-in-your mouth delicious. Use tongs to carefully remove the rings from around the half-cooked fritter - the rings will just slip off.Ĭarefully flip the fritters over when the bottoms have browned and cook the other side until golden in color. Use the spoon to carefully nudge the batter to the edge of each ring, level out the top.Īllow the fritters to cook for a minute or two, this will allow the batter to cook a little and hold its shape. Place 2-3 egg rings into the frypan, heat them in the oil, drop tablespoons of the batter into the center of each egg ring, filling them to the top. The ones that we used are 7.5 cm (2.9 inches) in diameter and 1 cm (0.39 inches) high. If you would like a more consistent round look (like the ones you see on this page), use metal egg rings. Use egg rings - Dropping spoonfuls of batter into the pan will give the fritters an irregular shape.
