Canned Corn Fritters

Ingredients

• •1 can (15 oz) corn, drained
• •1/2 cup all-purpose flour
• •1 egg, beaten
• •1/2 tsp garlic powder
• •1/4 tsp salt
• •1/4 tsp black pepper
• •3 tbsp vegetable oil

Instructions

1. 1

   Drain the corn well and pat it dry with a clean towel. Excess moisture makes soggy fritters.

2. 2

   In a mixing bowl, combine the drained corn, flour, beaten egg, garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Stir until a thick batter forms. If it seems too wet, add another tablespoon of flour.

3. 3

   Heat the vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. The oil is ready when a small drop of batter sizzles immediately.

4. 4

   Drop rounded tablespoons of batter into the hot oil, pressing gently to flatten into thick discs. Do not crowd the pan — work in batches.

5. 5

   Fry for 2-3 minutes per side until golden brown and crispy on the outside.

6. 6

   Transfer to a paper towel-lined plate to drain. Serve hot.
