Equipment

  • Equipment Needed
  • Mixing bowl
  • Whisk or spoon
  • Frying pan
  • Slotted spoon
  • Paper towels for draining

Ingredients
  

  • Ingredients
  • 1 cup corn kernels fresh, frozen, or canned, drained
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1/2 cup milk
  • 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese or vegan cheese for a dairy-free option
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1/4 teaspoon paprika optional, for a hint of spice
  • Vegetable oil for frying

Instructions
 

  • Method
  • Step 1: Prepare the Batter
  • In a mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, salt, black pepper, and paprika (if using). This will ensure even distribution of the dry ingredients.
  • In a separate bowl, beat the eggs and then add the milk. Mix well.
  • Combine the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients, stirring until just combined. Do not overmix; a few lumps are okay.
  • Gently fold in the corn kernels and Parmesan cheese until evenly distributed.
  • Step 2: Rest the Batter
  • Allow the batter to sit for about 10 minutes. This helps the flour absorb the liquid and results in a fluffier fritter.
  • Step 3: Heat the Oil
  • In a frying pan, heat about 1/2 inch of vegetable oil over medium heat. To check if the oil is hot enough, drop a small amount of batter into the oil; if it sizzles, it’s ready.
  • Step 4: Fry the Fritters
  • Using a spoon or a small ice cream scoop, carefully drop spoonfuls of the batter into the hot oil, making sure not to overcrowd the pan.
  • Fry for 2-3 minutes on each side or until golden brown. Flip them gently using a slotted spoon.
  • Once cooked, transfer the fritters to a plate lined with paper towels to drain excess oil.
  • Step 5: Serve and Enjoy!
  • Serve the Frittelle di Mais warm, garnished with a sprinkle of additional cheese or fresh herbs if desired. They pair beautifully with a dipping sauce like aioli or a simple marinara.
  • Variations
  • Herb-Infused Fritters: Add fresh herbs like parsley or basil for added flavor.
  • Spicy Corn Fritters: Mix in some diced jalapeños or chili flakes for a kick.
  • Gluten-Free Option: Substitute all-purpose flour with a gluten-free flour blend.
