Ingredients
- 1 cup sweet corn kernels (fresh or frozen)
- 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
- 1/4 cup cornmeal
- 1/4 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
- 1/4 teaspoon paprika
- 1/4 cup chopped fresh parsley
- 1 egg, beaten
- 2-3 tablespoons milk
- Olive oil for frying
Instructions
Step 1: Prepare the Batter
In a mixing bowl, combine the flour, cornmeal, baking powder, salt, pepper, paprika, and parsley. Add the beaten egg and milk, and mix until well combined.
Step 2: Add the Corn
Add the sweet corn kernels to the batter and stir gently to incorporate.
Step 3: Heat the Oil
Heat a skillet or frying pan over medium heat and add a couple of tablespoons of olive oil.
Step 4: Fry the Fritters
Spoon small portions of the batter into the hot oil, flattening them slightly with the back of the spoon. Fry until golden and crispy, about 2-3 minutes per side. You may need to cook the fritters in batches.
Step 5: Drain and Serve
Remove the fritters from the pan and place them on a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil. Serve hot with a dipping sauce or as a side dish.
