ingredients

oil
2 cups Bisquick baking mix
1/2 teaspoon salt
2/3 cup milk
1 egg, beaten
2 cups corn kernels

directions

Preheat oil to 365 degrees F in a deep skillet or deep fryer.

Combine the Bisquick, salt, milk, and egg in a bowl and mix well. Stir in the corn.

Drop the fritter batter by small teaspoonfuls into the hot oil. Turn to brown on all sides. Remove from the oil and let drain on paper toweling. Serve the Bisquick corn fritters warm.

recipe tips


For extra crunch, add a tablespoon of cornmeal to the batter.

If the batter seems too thick, add a little more milk to reach the desired consistency.

To test the oil temperature without a thermometer, drop a small amount of batter into the oil. If it sizzles and floats to the top, the oil is ready.

Placing the fried fritters on a wire rack over paper towels helps to drain excess oil while keeping them crispy.

Serve the fritters as a side dish with grilled meats or as an appetizer with your favorite dips.

For a sweet version, add a bit of sugar to the batter and serve with maple syrup or honey.

Using a cookie scoop can help create uniform fritter sizes for even cooking.

Adjust the seasoning according to taste, adding more salt if needed after frying a test fritter.

common recipe questions


What type of oil is best for frying corn fritters?

Use a neutral oil with a high smoke point, such as canola, vegetable, or peanut oil, for frying to avoid imparting any unwanted flavors to the fritters.

Can fresh, frozen, or canned corn be used?

Yes, all three types of corn can be used in this recipe. If using frozen, thaw and drain well. If using canned, drain and rinse the corn before using.

Can I make this in an air fryer instead of frying in oil?

Wet batters don't really work well in air fryers. You could try baking it in the oven on a greased baking sheet at 400 degrees F but air fryers need air to circulate and you'd need a solid surface to cook these on (which would inhibit the airflow).

How can the batter be varied?

Feel free to add diced onions, jalapenos, cheese, or herbs like chives or cilantro to the batter for different flavors. You can also add spices into the batter, such as paprika, garlic powder, or cumin.

Can the fritters be made gluten-free?

Yes, substitute the Bisquick baking mix with a gluten-free baking mix. Make sure that it's a direct substitute in terms of proportions.

What's the best way to make sure the fritters cook evenly?

Make sure the oil is at the correct temperature and don't overcrowd the pan. Fry in batches if necessary to maintain the oil temperature.

What dipping sauces pair well with corn fritters?

Serve with sour cream, ranch dressing, honey, or a spicy dipping sauce like chipotle mayo or sriracha sauce for added flavor.

How long can leftover fritters be stored?

Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat in the oven or toaster oven to maintain crispiness.

Can corn fritters be frozen?

Yes, cool the fritters completely, then freeze in a single layer on a baking sheet. Once frozen, transfer to a freezer bag and store for up to 3 months. Reheat from frozen in a 350 degrees F oven until warmed through and crispy.

    Easy but definitely needs some additional spices..very bland

  5. philocrates REVIEW:
