- Butter

How Do You Make Corn Fritters?
Follow these steps to make the best corn fritters recipe:
- Heat the vegetable oil to 365 F in a heavy skillet.
- Combine the dry ingredients (flour, baking powder, salt, sugar, and paprika) in a medium-sized bowl.
- Whisk together the wet ingredients (egg, milk, and melted butter) in a small bowl and stir them into the flour mixture.
- Add the drained whole-kernel corn, chopped parsley, sliced green onions, and shredded cheese. Stir to combine.
- Working in batches, drop ¼ cup mounds of batter into the hot oil and fry for 2 minutes on each side. Remove with a slotted spoon and place on a plate lined with paper towels to absorb any excess oil.
How Do You Keep Fritters Crispy?
A few important tips to achieve perfectly crispy corn fritters are:
- Make sure the oil is hot enough. If the oil is not hot enough, the batter will absorb it, making your fritters soggy. To test the oil, throw in a little bit of batter, if the oil bubbles up, it is ready.
- Make sure you add enough flour. The batter should hold its shape. If it is too runny, the fritters will not be crispy. Add more flour if you feel it needs it.
- Drain the corn properly! Make sure you remove as much liquid as possible.
- Use a cold egg. This will delay the development of gluten in the flour, making the fritters lighter and crispier.
- Do not overmix the batter. You don’t want to develop the gluten in the flour. Mix the ingredients just enough so that the flour is moistened and no dry specks remain.
How Do You Reheat Corn Fritters?
You can use the microwave, but if you want your leftover fritters to remain crispy, I recommend reheating them in the oven. Place them on a baking sheet and reheat them in a 350 F oven for about 8-10 minutes.
Can You Freeze Corn Fritters?
Yes, you can! Let them cool completely before storing them in freezer-safe bags and in the freezer for up to 3 months.
