Ingredients

  • 2 lrg Large eggs
  • 1/4 c. Lowfat milk
  • 1/4 c. WATER
  • 1 Tbsp. BUTTER, melted
  • 16 ounce Can WHOLE KERNEL CORN, liquid removed (I use the liquid removed juices instead of the water or possibly add in water to the juice to make 1/4 c.)
  • 2 c. ALL-PURPOSE FLOUR
  • 2 tsp BAKING Pwdr
  • 3/4 tsp SALT
  • 1/4 tsp BLACK PEPPER, freshly grnd
  • 1 Tbsp. GRANULATED SUGAR VEGETABLE OIL (for frying) CONFECTIONERS' SUGAR & MAPLE SYRUP

Method

  • * Instead of canned corn, 2 c. fresh or possibly frzn corn can be substituted.
  • The original recipe does call for canned corn, as fritters were considered a winter dish.
  • And this recipe is much older than frzn technology.
  • In a mixing bowl, beat the Large eggs till light.
  • Add in the lowfat milk (or possibly corn liquid mixed with water), and butter; blend.
  • Stir in the corn and mix thoroughly.
  • Add in the dry ingredients and mix just till moistened.
  • Heat 2 inches of oil in an electric skillet or possibly deep-fryer to 350-degreesF.
  • Drop the batter into the oil by tablespoonfuls and fry 2 to 3 min on each side or possibly till nicely browned.
  • Drain on paper towel and sprinkle with powdered sugar.
  • Serve with maple syrup.
