You may already be wondering what you need to have in your kitchen in order to start preparing your fritters. Chances are, you already have everything you need! The main ingredient is corn, obviously.

The good news is that this recipe works with both fresh and frozen corn. So no worries here, you can enjoy this delicious fritters any time and day of the year. Just remember: if you decide to use frozen or canned corn, make sure to drain all the excess liquid. You will want your corn to be dry when you are mixing it with the other ingredients.

Because corn is not the only ingredient in this magical recipe, of course! I like to keep things flavorful and fulfilling, so we are also going to add other spices and ingredients as well. Extra toppings can be added for serving, such as scallions and some garlic if you prefer. Don’t forget the oil for frying – and this is all you will need!

As I told you, you probably already have everything in your kitchen and pantry already!

Now, what about the procedure? Couldn’t be easier! This is the classical situation in which you need your ingredients, a big bowl, and everything will be mixed there! And cooking them couldn’t be easier, either. First, prepare the plate where you are going to place the fritters. Coat it with some paper towels, as this will help absorb any excess oil. We want things as healthy as possible!

Afterward, it’s time to prepare the pan. Once the oil is heated, add about 2-3 tablespoon of the fritters batter into the pan. Spread it into a nice, circular shape. Cook them for 2 to 3 minutes and then flip them on the other side. Be sure they are evenly and thoroughly cooked. When the fritters are done, take them out and place them on the plate coated with paper towels. Season them with salt and pepper. Repeat the process and don’t forget to add more oil as needed.

When everything is done, add the toppings and that’s it! Dinner (or lunch, maybe breakfast, no judgment) is ready!

Did you know that, although it contains carbohydrates, corn is quite good for you? It is rich in vitamin C, magnesium, B vitamins and carotenoids, such as lutein and zeaxanthin. Corn contains very little fat and it is also a good source of ​​fiber. Another good reason to choose this recipe!
