Skillet Fried Corn Fritters
I think corn fritters are a great way to eat something fried without all the guilt. Well, they do qualify as a vegetable, after all! The ingredients are all under your control. By using a “good” oil, like canola oil, you can reduce the total fat in these homemade corn fritters and enjoy your little treat.
3 large eggs, heavily beaten
2 cups corn kernels, cooked and crushed
2 tablespoons milk
1 teaspoon baking powder
1 1/4 tablespoon melted butter
Salt and pepper to taste
1 1/2 cup flour (more or less)
High heat cooking oil, like canola oil, or peanut oil
Fill a deep skillet with oil and heat until water dropped in the skillet sizzles. Mix together all ingredients, except flour, then add just enough of the 1 1/2 cups of flour to make fritters stay together. More or less than 1 1/2 cups may be needed. Drop fritters one at a time by the spoonful into hot oil. Turn to brown all sides. Drain and serve.
