Sugar Dusted Corn Fritters Recipes

Steps:

• Beat the egg, milk and sugar together.
• Sift the dry ingredients and add to the egg mixture.
• (If using sifted flour, you can just mix the dry ingredients together well and still get excellent results).
• Add the melted butter or margarine (or oil) and beat or stir briskly by hand until well blended.
• Stir or fold in the corn until evenly distributed.
• Drop by tablespoons into hot deep fat (375 degrees) and cook until golden brown.
• Drain on paper towels.
• Place on plates and dust with confectioner's sugar if desired. These are best if served with maple syrup.
• Notes: I usually try one first.
• If I find the oil is bubbling through the fritter, which would make it too greasy, I'll add a little more flour to the batter to prevent that.
• Also, as a shortcut, instead of deep frying, I usually pour 2 or 3 inches of oil into a large saucepan or electric frying pan and fry that way.
• When one side is brown, I just turn and brown the other side.

Steps:

• cut kernels from corn.until you get 1 cup.
• grate 1-2 ears of corn on box grater, then scrape pulp -- -1/2 cup.
• put in a bowl with cut kernels, mix egg, flour, cornmeal, cream, onion, salt and cayeene into corn mixture to form thick batter.
• may refrigerate up to 4 hours.
• Heat oil in large skillet -- drop heaping tbslful into oil.
• fry till golden.about 50 seconds, flip and fry the second side.
• TO MAKE OUT OF SEASON FRITTERS:.
• Pulse 2 cups frozen corn, thawed and remaining ingredients in food processor.
• about 10 1 second pulses.
• it will be thick batter.fry the same way as fresh.

Steps:

• Salsa:.
• Position an oven rack about 4 inches below the broiler and heat the broiler on high. Arrange the tomatoes and garlic on a rimmed baking sheet and broil until the tomatoes are charred on one side, about 5 minutes. Turn the tomatoes and garlic and char on the second side, about 2 minutes longer. Let cool. Peel the tomatoes and garlic, discarding the skins and saving any juices that are released.
• In a blender, briefly purée the tomatoes and their juices, the garlic, chipotle chile, and 1/2 teaspoons salt-it needn't be perfectly smooth.
• In a medium, heavy-based saucepan, heat the oil over medium-high heat. When a drop of the puréed tomato mixture sizzles when added, pour in the remaining purée. Bring to a boil, stirring frequently. Adjust the heat to an active simmer and continue to cook, stirring frequently, until reduced to a scant cup and thickened to a sauce consistency, 8 to 12 minutes. Cool to room temperature. Stir in the cilantro and the lime juice. Season to taste with salt. Serve at room temperature.
• Fritters:.
• In a medium bowl, stir the flour, cornmeal, baking powder, sugar, and salt. In a small bowl, whisk the milk, sour cream, and eggs. With a rubber spatula, gently stir the egg mixture into the flour mixture until just blended. Stir in the corn. Let sit for 10 to 15 minutes. Meanwhile, position a rack in the center of the oven and heat the oven to 200°F.
• Pour the oil into a small, heavy frying pan, preferably cast iron, to a depth of 1/2 inch. Heat over medium heat until it's hot enough that a small dollop of batter sizzles when added. With a spring-lever miniature ice cream scoop or a tablespoon, scoop up a ball of the batter and gently release it into the hot oil. Add three or four more balls of batter to the hot oil, taking care not to crowd the pan. Reduce the heat to medium low so that the fritters cook gently. When golden brown on the bottom and barely cooked around the top edge, after 1 to 2 minutes, use a slotted spatula to turn the fritters and cook until golden on the bottom, 1 to 2 minutes longer.
• Transfer the fritters to a wire rack set over a baking sheet, sprinkle generously with salt, and keep warm in the oven. Continue to cook the remaining batter in small batches, adding more oil as needed to maintain the 1/2-inch depth. Serve right away with the salsa.

Steps:

• 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.

Steps:

• Mix all the ingredients together in a bowl.
• Heat up a frying pan.
• When the pan is hot, spoon the mixture in heaped spoonfuls into the pan.
• Cook in batches for about 3 minutes each side, or until both sides are golden brown.
• Remove from the pan, and continue cooking in batches.
