Crispy on the outside and bursting with sweet corn inside, these Very Crispy Corn Fritters are the perfect snack, side, or savory treat. Quick to make and even easier to love!

Ingredients

  • Fresh Corn Kernels: 2 cups (about 3 ears) – Sweet, juicy bites that are the star of the show.
  • All-Purpose Flour: ¾ cup – Helps bind the batter and gives it structure.
  • Cornstarch: ¼ cup – Key to that ultra crispy finish.
  • Baking Powder: 1 teaspoon – Adds a light lift to keep the fritters from feeling dense.
  • Eggs: 2 large – Act as a binder to hold everything together.
  • Milk: ¼ cup – Adds moisture and helps create a smooth batter.
  • Scallions: 3, finely chopped – Add a gentle oniony bite and fresh green color.
  • Garlic Powder: 1 teaspoon – For a subtle depth of flavor.
  • Salt: 1 teaspoon – Enhances all the savory elements.
  • Black Pepper: ½ teaspoon – Adds a touch of warmth and balance.
  • Vegetable Oil: For frying – Creates that golden crust we all crave.

Instructions

  1. Preheat Your Equipment: Heat a generous amount of vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium heat until shimmering hot.
  2. Combine Ingredients: In a mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, cornstarch, baking powder, garlic powder, salt, and pepper. In a separate bowl, beat the eggs and milk, then stir in the corn and scallions. Combine wet and dry ingredients to form a thick batter.
  3. Prepare Your Cooking Vessel: Make sure your skillet is evenly heated and the oil is ready by dropping a bit of batter in—if it sizzles, you’re good to go.
  4. Assemble the Dish: Scoop spoonfuls of batter into the skillet, spacing them apart. Flatten slightly with the back of the spoon for even cooking.
  5. Cook to Perfection: Fry each fritter for about 2–3 minutes per side until golden brown and crispy. Flip carefully and cook the other side the same way.
  6. Finishing Touches: Transfer fritters to a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil. Sprinkle with a pinch of sea salt for extra flavor.
  7. Serve and Enjoy: Serve hot with your favorite dipping sauce—think garlic aioli, sour cream, or a sweet chili glaze.

Notes

  • Use fresh corn for maximum sweetness and crunch, but frozen works too.
  • Rest the batter before frying for better texture.
  • Double-fry for an extra crispy edge.
  • Store leftovers in the fridge and reheat in the oven or air fryer.
