Fritters

Whipped Honey Butter

Method

Fritters

  1. 1

    Prepare the Batter

    In a large mixing bowl, combine the fresh corn kernels, all-purpose flour, cornmeal, baking powder, salt, and sugar. Mix well to ensure the dry ingredients are evenly distributed.

  2. 2

    Add Wet Ingredients

    In a separate bowl, whisk together the eggs and milk until combined. Pour the wet mixture into the dry ingredients and stir until just combined. Fold in the chopped green onions.

  3. 3

    Heat the Oil

    In a deep skillet or frying pan, heat the vegetable oil over medium-high heat until it reaches 350°F (175°C). You can test the oil by dropping a small amount of batter into it; if it sizzles, it's ready.

  4. 4

    Fry the Fritters

    Using a spoon or a small ice cream scoop, drop tablespoons of the batter into the hot oil. Fry in batches, being careful not to overcrowd the pan. Cook for 3-4 minutes on each side or until golden brown. Remove with a slotted spoon and drain on paper towels.

Whipped Honey Butter

  1. 5

    Prepare the Whipped Honey Butter

    In a medium mixing bowl, beat the softened unsalted butter with an electric mixer until creamy. Gradually add honey and a pinch of salt, and continue to beat until the mixture is light and fluffy.
