- Method: Frying
- Cuisine: American
- 2 cups fresh corn kernels (from about 3 ears of corn)
- 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
- 1/4 cup cornmeal
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 large egg, lightly beaten
- 1/4 cup milk
- 2 tablespoons melted butter
- 1/4 cup chopped green onions
- Vegetable oil, for frying
- 1/4 cup honey
- 1 teaspoon hot sauce (adjust to taste)
- In a large bowl, combine the corn kernels, flour, cornmeal, baking powder, salt, and black pepper.
- In a separate small bowl, whisk together the egg, milk, and melted butter.
- Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and mix until just combined. Fold in the chopped green onions.
- Heat about 1 inch of vegetable oil in a large skillet or cast-iron pan over medium-high heat.
- Once the oil is hot (a drop of batter should sizzle immediately), spoon 2-3 tablespoons of batter per fritter into the pan. Do not overcrowd the pan.
- Cook for 3-4 minutes per side, or until golden brown and cooked through.
- Remove the fritters from the pan and place them on a plate lined with paper towels to drain excess oil.
- In a small bowl, whisk together the honey and hot sauce to make the hot honey.
- Serve the corn fritters warm, drizzled with hot honey.
Notes
- Use fresh corn for the best flavor and texture.
- Do not overmix the batter; a few lumps are fine.
- Adjust the amount of hot sauce in the honey to your preferred spice level.
- These fritters are best served immediately.
