Ingredients for the Crispiest Corn Fritters 

To make these crispiest corn fritters, you’ll need the following: 

• 1 cup all-purpose flour 

• 1/2 cup cornmeal 

• 1 teaspoon baking powder 

• 1/2 teaspoon salt 

• 1/4 teaspoon black pepper 

• 2 large eggs 

• 1/2 cup milk 

• 1 1/2 cups of drained sweet corn 

• 1/2 cup of vegetable oil (or any neutral oil, like canola or sunflower, for frying) 

• FryAway Pan Fry 

How to Make Crispy Corn Fritters? 

​​In this crispy corn fritter recipe, we’ll guide you through the process of making perfectly golden, crunchy fritters with simple, easy-to-follow steps. 

Combine the flour, cornmeal, baking powder, salt, and pepper in a large mixing bowl. These dry ingredients form the base of your crispy fritters.  

Whisk together the eggs and milk in a separate bowl, then stir in the drained sweet corn and any optional veggies or seasonings you’d like to add. 

Gently mix the wet and dry ingredients together—be careful not to overmix! Overmixing can cause the fritters to become dense instead of crispy. 

Fill a big pan with about 1/2 cup of vegetable or your favorite oil. Once the oil reaches 350°F, heat it over medium-high heat. 

Drop just a small amount of batter into the oil to see whether it is ready; if it sizzles immediately, you're set to go. 

Drop small spoonfuls of batter into the heated oil, leaving space between each patty. 

Flatten them slightly with the back of the spoon to ensure even cooking. Fry the fritters for 3-4 minutes per side or until they turn golden brown. 

Do not overcrowd the pan since this reduces the oil temperature and causes the fritters to soak up too much oil, making them soggy instead of crispy. 

When the fritters are golden and crispy, remove them from the skillet and set them on a wire rack or paper towels to drain any leftover oil. Serve them immediately while they're hot and crunchy.
