Recipe type: Appetizer/Side
Cuisine: American
Yield: 2 dozens fritters
Ingredients
  • 4 cups corn kernels (fresh if possible. If not, use frozen that's been thawed or canned that's been well-drained)
  • 2 large eggs
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 teaspoon salt (use less for canned corn if it's salted)
  • ½ teaspoon pepper
  • ¼ cup chopped green onion (or chives)
  • ¼ cup chopped lemon basil (or any basil, or any herb of your choice)
  • 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
  • 4 - 5 tablespoons rice flour
  • Olive oil for frying
Instructions
  1. Place half (2 cups) of the corn and the eggs in a food processor or blender. Grind to create a batter. Scrape into a bowl.
  2. Add the rest of the corn, and the rest of the ingredients. Batter should be thick.
  3. Heat 1 - 2 tablespoons of oil in a frying pan or skillet, on medium-high heat.
  4. Use a large serving spoon to drop batter onto hot oil (about 2 tablespoons each, which makes 2½ inch fritters).
  5. Fry for 2-3 minutes on each side, or until fritters are browned and crisp. Lower heat if fritters brown too quickly.
  6. Serve hot with your favorite dipping sauce.
