Cooking
- 4
Heat the Oil
In a large skillet, heat the vegetable oil over medium-high heat until it reaches 350°F (175°C). To test if the oil is ready, drop a small amount of batter into the oil; it should sizzle and float to the surface.

Fry the Corn Fritters
Using a spoon or small scoop, drop dollops 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.

Drain and Serve
Once cooked, remove the fritters from the oil and place them on a plate lined with paper towels to drain excess oil. Serve warm with your favorite dipping sauce.
