Fritters

Honey Butter

Method

Fritters

  1. 1

    Prepare the Batter

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

  2. 2

    Mix Wet Ingredients

    In a separate bowl, whisk together the milk and egg until well combined.

  3. 3

    Combine Ingredients

    Pour the wet mixture into the dry ingredients and stir until just combined. Fold in the fresh corn kernels gently to avoid overmixing.

  4. 4

    Heat Oil

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

  5. 5

    Fry Fritters

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

  6. 6

    Drain and Keep Warm

    Once cooked, remove the fritters from the oil and place them on a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil. Keep warm while you fry the remaining batter.

Honey Butter

  1. 7

    Prepare Honey Butter

    In a mixing bowl, beat the unsalted butter until creamy. Add the honey and mix until well combined and fluffy.

  2. 8

    Serve

    Transfer the honey butter to a serving dish and serve alongside the warm fritters.
