Ingredients
-
1 cup all-purpose flour
-
1 teaspoon baking powder
-
3 ears fresh corn, kernels cut from cob
-
2 eggs, separated
-
½ cup heavy whipping cream
-
salt and freshly ground pepper to taste
-
1 quart vegetable oil for frying, or as needed
-
2 tablespoons cane syrup, or as desired (Optional)
Directions
-
Whisk flour and baking powder into a bowl and mix in corn kernels. Whisk egg yolks with cream in a small bowl and stir into the corn mixture; season with salt and black pepper. Beat egg whites with an electric mixer until fluffy and stiff peaks form in a separate bowl. Gently fold egg whites into the batter, retaining as much volume as possible.
-
Pour vegetable oil into a deep heavy skillet to a depth of 3 inches. Heat to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C).
-
Drop fritters into the hot oil, 2 to 3 tablespoons at a time, and cook until golden brown, 2 to 3 minutes per side. Drain fritters on paper towels and serve drizzled with cane syrup.
Editor's Note:
We have determined the nutritional value of oil for frying based on a retention value of 10% after cooking. The exact amount will vary depending on cooking time and temperature, ingredient density, and the specific type of oil used.
