Ingredients
1 cup all-purpose flour
1 tsp baking powder
1/2 tsp salt
2 Tbsp white sugar – plus another ¼ tsp
1 large egg – lightly beaten
1/2 cup milk
1 Tbsp shortening – melted
1 (12 oz) can whole kernel corn – drained
3 cup vegetable oil – for frying
Instructions
Add the flour, baking powder, salt, and sugar to a medium bowl; whisk together to combine.
In a separate bowl, beat together the egg, milk, and melted shortening. Pour this into the flour mixture and stir.
Add the drained corn kernels to the bowl and mix together. Let the corn fritter batter sit for 30 minutes.
Add the oil to a large, heavy pot or deep fryer. Bring the oil to a temperature of 365°F (185°C).
Grab a spoon and drop the batter into the oil by the spoonful. You should be able to get about 12 spoonfuls. Fry until golden brown, turning as needed so the sides are all cooked as well.
Allow the fritters to drain on a paper towel-lined plate, then serve and enjoy!
