We all have our own treasured appetizer recipes. The best are the ones that you know can be done quickly and can be prepped ahead of time. And if they also get consistent rave reviews from guests, you know you have a 'winner'. These Corn Fritters are one of my 'keepers', and have served them to adults and even children. An eight year old once stalked me during an outdoor party I hosted as I served these fritters. Each time I turned around, there she was smiling, with a look of great expectation. When she told me — "they are quite delicious", I had to laugh. An eight year old!
Corn Fritters
Makes about 30
1 1/2 cups flour
3/4 tsp salt
3/4 tsp baking soda
1/4 tsp cayenne
1 cup corn kernels
5 green onions, minced
1 large egg, beaten
3/4 cup buttermilk
vegetable oil, for frying
Whisk all of the dry ingredients together in a bowl, then add the wet, with the buttermilk at the end. Mix thoroughly to form a stiff batter, then cover and chill until required. Pour some vegetable oil into a frying pan over medium heat and when hot, drop in teaspoons of the batter, and fry in batches, until the fritters are puffed and golden on both sides. Allow to drain on a wire rack or paper towel until the batter is finished. Serve warm or at room temperature as an appetizer with a dollop of creamy Guacamole, or Lemon Cilantro Dip on top and curl of lemon zest.
