Corn Fritters
Author: Angie | FiestaFriday.net
Recipe type: Appetizer/Side
Cuisine: American
Yield: 2 dozens fritters
- 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
- 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.
- Add the rest of the corn, and the rest of the ingredients. Batter should be thick.
- Heat 1 - 2 tablespoons of oil in a frying pan or skillet, on medium-high heat.
- Use a large serving spoon to drop batter onto hot oil (about 2 tablespoons each, which makes 2½ inch fritters).
- Fry for 2-3 minutes on each side, or until fritters are browned and crisp. Lower heat if fritters brown too quickly.
- Serve hot with your favorite dipping sauce.
