Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    In a large mixing bowl, combine all the dry ingredients: all-purpose flour, cornmeal, baking powder, salt, and black pepper.

  2. 2

    In another bowl, whisk together the wet ingredients: milk, egg, corn kernels, and chopped green onions until well combined.

  3. 3

    Gradually add the wet mixture to the dry ingredients, stirring until just combined. Avoid overmixing; a few lumps are okay.

Cooking

  1. 4

    Heat the vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium heat. You can test if the oil is ready by dropping a small amount of batter into it; it should sizzle.

  2. 5

    Using a ladle or a spoon, drop about 1/4 cup of the batter into the hot oil for each fritter. Flatten them slightly with the back of the spoon.

  3. 6

    Cook the fritters for about 3-4 minutes on each side, or until they are golden brown. Be sure to cook them in batches to avoid overcrowding the pan.

  4. 7

    Once cooked, transfer the fritters to a plate lined with paper towels to drain excess oil.

Serving

  1. 8

    Serve the corn fritters warm with your choice of dipping sauce or salsa.
