👨🍳 Fremgangsmåde
- 1
If using fresh corn, cut kernels from the cob. Process about half of the corn kernels in a food processor or blender until a coarse puree forms. Set aside.
💡 Professionelle Tips: This puree helps bind the fritters and adds a creamy texture. - 2
In a dry skillet over medium heat, cook the pureed corn until it reaches the consistency of thick oatmeal, about 5 minutes. Transfer to a bowl.
💡 Professionelle Tips: This step helps to thicken the puree and remove excess moisture. - 3
Add the remaining whole corn kernels and 1/4 teaspoon of salt to the skillet. Cook until lightly golden, about 3-4 minutes. Add this to the bowl with the pureed corn.

To the corn mixture, add the all-purpose flour, cornstarch, sugar, remaining 3/4 teaspoon salt, and black pepper. Stir until well combined.
💡 Professionelle Tips: Ensure all dry ingredients are evenly distributed. - 5
Gently stir in the lightly beaten egg until just incorporated. Do not overmix.
💡 Professionelle Tips: Overmixing can lead to tough fritters. - 6
Heat about 1 cup of canola oil in a large skillet over medium heat until shimmering. Carefully drop spoonfuls of batter into the hot oil, flattening them slightly with a spatula.
💡 Professionelle Tips: Ensure the oil is hot enough to fry the fritters properly, but not so hot that they burn quickly. - 7
Fry for 2-3 minutes per side, until deep golden brown and cooked through. Transfer the fritters to a plate lined with paper towels to drain excess oil.
💡 Professionelle Tips: Work in batches to avoid overcrowding the pan, which can lower the oil temperature and result in greasy fritters. - 8
Repeat with the remaining batter and serve immediately.
💡 Professionelle Tips: These are best enjoyed fresh and hot.
