Method

Fritters Preparation

  1. 1

    Mix the Dry Ingredients

    In a large mixing bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, cornmeal, baking powder, salt, and black pepper. Whisk together until evenly mixed.

  2. 2

    Combine the Wet Ingredients

    In a separate bowl, beat the eggs and then add the milk, mixing well. Add the sweet corn kernels and chopped green onions to the wet mixture.

  3. 3

    Combine Wet and Dry Mixtures

    Pour the wet mixture into the dry ingredients and stir gently until just combined. Do not overmix; it's okay if there are a few lumps.

  4. 4

    Heat the Oil

    In a large frying pan or deep fryer, 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, the oil is ready.

  5. 5

    Fry the Fritters

    Using a spoon or ice cream scoop, drop tablespoons of the batter into the hot oil, being careful not to overcrowd the pan. Fry for about 3-4 minutes on each side or until golden brown and crispy.

  6. 6

    Drain and Serve

    Once cooked, remove the fritters with a slotted spoon and place them on a plate lined with paper towels to drain excess oil. Serve warm.

Ranch Dressing Preparation

  1. 7

    Combine Ingredients

    In a medium bowl, whisk together the mayonnaise, sour cream, buttermilk, dried dill, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and black pepper until smooth.

  2. 8

    Chill the Dressing

    Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to allow the flavors to meld.
