QUICK AND CRISPY CORN FUEL

Perfectly crispy on the outside, light and fluffy on the inside! These corn fritters are the perfect side dish to a delicious dinner like fried chicken.

INGREDIENTS

• 1 1/4 cups flour

• 2 teaspoons baking powder

• 2 teaspoons sugar

• ½ teaspoon salt

• ¼ teaspoon pepper

• ⅔ cup milk

• 2 large eggs (smoothies)

• 2 tablespoons butter, melted and cooled

• 2 1/2 cups corn kernels (fresh or canned)

• 1 teaspoon Creole seasoning (optional)

• Vegetable oil for frying

Cooking mode Prevents screen from darkening

INSTRUCTIONS

1. In a large bowl, flour , baking powder, sugar, salt and pepper.

2.Add milk, beaten eggs, butter and corn to the bowl (and add Creole seasoning if using) and stir until well combined.

3. Heat about 1/4 inch of vegetable oil in a large skillet. Once the oil is very hot, pour 1/4 cup batter (per piece) into the oil. Do not overcrowd the pan.Fry until golden brown and crispy on each

side.

4. Place on kitchen paper to drain. For best results, serve promptly.

NOTES

• Use fresh corn on the cob, canned (well drained) or frozen (thawed and drained).• Do not over mix the dough as this will develop the gluten in the flour and create a rubbery consistency. Mix

until incorporated.

• After mixing, let the dough rest for 5 minutes. This allows the gluten to relax, resulting in donuts with crispy edges and a tender interior.

• Creole seasoning is optional but highly recommended for lovers of a lot of flavor.• Use enough oil to make the donuts really crispy. I use between 1/8 and 1/4 inch of oil. I use vegetable oil, canola

oil or bacon fat.

• Set the oil very hot. You want to hear the donuts sizzle as they go into the pan.• Try different spices and herbs such as garlic powder, onion powder, cayenne pepper, paprika or coriander.

• Top with a dollop of sour cream, chopped green onions or jalapenos.

• Store leftovers in an airtight container or resealable bag in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
