Ingredients

Scale
  • 3 cups fresh corn kernels (about 4 ears), cut from the cob
  • 3/4 cup all-purpose flour (90g)
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1 tablespoon granulated sugar
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 cup whole milk (120ml)
  • 1 large egg, room temperature
  • 2 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
  • Vegetable oil for frying (about 1/4 inch deep)
  • Honey Butter Drizzle:
  • 2 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
  • 2 tablespoons honey
  • Pinch of sea salt

Instructions

  1. Prep the Corn: Shuck the ears and remove kernels from about 4 fresh ears of corn to yield roughly 3 cups. Pat dry if kernels are very juicy. (About 10 minutes)
  2. Mix Dry Ingredients: In a large bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, sugar, and salt until combined. (2 minutes)
  3. Combine Wet Ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk egg, milk, and melted butter until smooth. (2 minutes)
  4. Make the Batter: Pour wet ingredients into dry ingredients and stir gently until just combined. Batter should be thick and lumpy. (2-3 minutes)
  5. Fold in Corn Kernels: Carefully fold in fresh corn kernels evenly throughout the batter. (1-2 minutes)
  6. Heat the Oil: Add about 1/4 inch of vegetable oil to a large skillet and heat over medium until shimmering, about 3-4 minutes.
  7. Fry the Fritters: Drop 1/4 cup batter into hot oil, flatten slightly, and fry in batches for 3-4 minutes per side until golden and crispy. Flip carefully. (15 minutes total)
  8. Drain and Keep Warm: Transfer fritters to paper towels to drain excess oil. Keep warm in a low oven (200°F / 90°C) while frying remaining fritters.
  9. Make the Honey Butter Drizzle: Mix melted butter, honey, and sea salt in a small bowl until smooth.
  10. Serve: Arrange warm fritters on a plate and drizzle generously with honey butter.

Notes

Do not overmix the batter to keep fritters tender. Use fresh corn for best texture and flavor. Control heat to avoid burning or greasy fritters. Fry in batches to maintain oil temperature. Add honey butter drizzle just before serving to keep fritters crispy. Leftovers reheat best in a skillet or toaster oven to restore crispiness.
