Sweet and crispy Cuban corn fritters, made with fresh corn kernels, a touch of sugar, and a hint of anise. These delightful fritters are perfect as an appetizer or a sweet snack.
🧂 Υλικά
- 1.5 cups Fresh corn kernels(from about 2 large ears of corn)
- 6 tablespoons Granulated sugar
- 0.5 teaspoon Ground anise seed
- 1 piece Large egg
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
- 2 cups Vegetable oil(for frying)
- 0.25 cup Coarse yellow cornmeal(optional, for thickening)
👨🍳 Οδηγίες
- 1
Prepare the corn kernels by slicing them off the cobs. Place the kernels in a food processor or blender and pulse until just blended. The mixture should be thick and slightly chunky, not liquid.
- 2
Transfer the blended corn to a large bowl. Stir in the egg, sugar, salt, and ground anise until well combined. The batter should be thick and paste-like. If the batter seems too liquidy, stir in coarse yellow cornmeal, 1/4 cup at a time, until it reaches a thick but still spoonable consistency.
- 3
Heat about 2 cups of vegetable oil in a deep skillet or pot over medium-high heat until it reaches 375°F (190°C).
- 4
Using a spoon, drop rounded tablespoons of the batter into the hot oil, being careful not to overcrowd the pan. Fry for 2-4 minutes per side, or until golden brown and cooked through.
- 5
Remove the fritters with a slotted spoon and place them on a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil.
- 6
Repeat with the remaining batter. Serve warm.
