Sugar Dusted Corn Fritters

These sugar dusted corn fritters are what you would find at your county fair or even a beloved seafood restaurant. These fritters are great on their own, with seafood, or even at a BBQ. Served with a side of maple syrup, these fritters are dynamite!

Recipe

  1. Mix flour, sugar, and baking powder. Add eggs, milk, salt, and cayenne pepper. Stir together to make a batter. Add in corn. Fold together to combine.

  2. Heat canola oil to 365°. When oil is heated, drop spoonfuls of batter (about 1 1/2 tablespoons each) into the oil and cook, flipping to the other side, until golden brown. This will take 1 1/2 to 2 1/2 minutes.

  3. Drain on a wire rack. Serve alone, with dipping sauces, or sprinkled with powdered sugar or drizzled with maple syrup.
