John's Corn Fritters
by Masterbuilt
Ingredients
- 1 gallon cooking oil
- 1 (12-ounce) can whole kernel corn
- 1 egg, lightly beaten
- 1/3 cup milk
- 1 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 tablespoon granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
- 1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
Directions
- Fill deep fryer halfway with oil and heat to 350°F.
- In a small bowl, combine corn, egg and milk. In a large bowl, combine flour, sugar, baking powder, salt and pepper. Add egg mixture to flour mixture, stirring to combine.
- Drop batter by tablespoonfuls into hot oil and fry in batches for 6 to 8 minutes or until golden brown. You should see them turn on their own after about 2 to 3 minutes, but help them turn, if needed. Use a metal slotted spoon to transfer to paper towels to drain. Serve immediately.
