Step 1

Prepare your corn. This recipe works well with fresh, frozen or canned corn. Fresh corn will give you the best flavor though!

Step 2

Make sure your corn is drained and dried as you do not want to be adding corn juice into hot oil. This can cause the oil to pop and burn you!

Step 3

Season your corn. You can add whatever seasonings you want to the corn but I just added plain sugar because I just wanted extra sweetness in my corn. I advise against using any liquid sweeteners because it doesn't mix well with cornstarch. Stick to the granulated or powder sweeteners for the best product!

Step 4

Coat the corn in your choice of starch. You want to add just enough starch where each corn kernel is coated but not too much where there is extra starch left.

Step 5

Pour about 1/2 inch of oil into your pan. Heat the oil over medium low. Pour the corn into one layer and use a spatula or spoon to press the corn kernels together until it's all leveled. You want to make sure that all the corn kernels are touching.

Step 6

Fry the corn for about 7 minutes over medium low heat. After 7 minutes, crank the heat up to medium high to finish frying the corn. This will take another 3-5 minutes. You'll know it is done when it is crispy and slightly golden.

Step 7

If the frying oil becomes low, you can add some more frying oil on top. You need a good amount of oil or else the top layer of the corn won't cook.

Step 8

Remove the corn fritter from the pan.

Step 9

Eat as is or top with your choice of seasoning.
