Corn Fritters

Ingredients

  • 1 cup fresh corn kernals
  • 1 large egg, separated
  • 3 tablespoons flour
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon fresh ground pepper
  • 1/2 cup vegetable oil, or as needed
  • powdered sugar to dust fritters, if desired

Instructions

  1. Combine the corn, egg yolk, flour, salt and pepper in a medium bowl.  Beat the egg white in a separate bowl until stiff peaks form. Fold the egg white into the corn mixture.  Heat the oil in a heavy skillet until hot but not smoking.  Drop 1 tablespoons of batter per fritter into hot oil.  Cook on one side, turn over until golden brown.  Drain on paper towels.  Dust with powdered sugar, if desired.  Serve warm

    IMPORTANT - the oil can splatter - keep children away from the hot oil and use a splatter screen when frying.
