Ingredients for Easy Corn Fritters

In order to make these corn fritters, you just need a few everyday ingredients. Most of which you will probably already have in your kitchen and pantry! See the recipe card below for exact ingredient measurements.

Vegetable oil: If you have canola oil on hand, you can use that instead. Corn: You can use fresh corn or canned corn for this recipe. Flour: I used all purpose flour in this recipe. Cornmeal: Creating a bright flavor and color, the cornmeal helps to create that delicious and crispy outside!Baking powder: This helps create that soft texture in the inside of the corn fritter. Salt: Will enhance all of the other flavors!Paprika: Paprika is a sweet spice that adds a unique taste.Green onion: Green onions make this dish savory and are an excellent garnish.

How to Make Corn Fritters

These corn fritters are easy to make and even more delicious to eat! Which is a good thing because you will be coming back to this recipe again and again.

To get a crispy outside: HOT OIL. You want to make sure that you heat up the pan with about ⅛ inch of oil in the bottom of it. Heat the oil for a few minutes before attempting to fry your corn fritters. Once you put them in to cook, don’t overcrowd the pan. You will get crispier corn fritters if you only do a few at a time! Oil Temperature: If you have a deep fry thermometer, make sure that your oil doesn’t go higher than 365 degrees. This will be TOO hot and burn your fritters. Flatten them out: When you drop some batter into the oil, it will stay as a ball.Try and flatten it out with a spatula. This will help them cook more evenly.

Add protein: If you want to make these fritters the main course, try adding a little meat to them! Chopped up ham or bacon is delicious! Mexican style: Add in some jalepenos, cilantro and squeeze in some lime juice and you have a totally new and delicious taste! Toppings: Serve these with a variety of toppings! These ones have green onions but you could try adding in some sour cream. Or, if you want to make them sweeter, try them without the green onions and drizzle them with some maple syrup!

Refrigerator: You can tore them in an airtight container in your fridge for 3-5 days.Freezer: M ake sure that the corn fritters have fully cooled. Once they have, place them in an airtight container or resealable bag in a single layer (no stacking). Make sure to put the date on the container! You can freeze them for up to 2 months. Reheat: Make sure that you have thawed your frozen fritters overnight in your fridge. Using a tablespoon of oil in a pan, reheat them on both sides until they are warm and crispy!
