Ingredients
Corn Fritters
- 1 cup corn kernels
- ½ cup flour
- 1 egg
- ¼ cup milk
- ½ tsp baking powder
- Salt & pepper, to taste
- Oil for frying
Whipped Feta Dip
- ½ cup feta cheese
- 2 tbsp Greek yogurt
Instructions
- Prepare the Fritter Batter: In a mixing bowl, combine the corn kernels, flour, egg, milk, baking powder, salt, and pepper. Stir until you get a smooth, slightly thick batter ready for frying.
- Fry the Fritters: Heat oil in a skillet over medium heat. Drop spoonfuls of the batter into the hot oil and cook for 2 to 3 minutes on each side, or until fritters are golden brown and crispy. Remove and drain on paper towels.
- Make the Whipped Feta Dip: In a blender or food processor, blend the feta cheese with Greek yogurt until smooth and creamy.
- Serve: Plate the warm corn fritters alongside the whipped feta dip for dipping and enjoy immediately for the best texture and flavor.
Notes
- Use fresh or thawed frozen corn kernels for best texture.
- Adjust the milk quantity for a batter consistency that holds together but is not too runny.
- For a spicier kick, add chopped chili or cayenne pepper to the batter.
- Use a neutral oil with a high smoke point such as vegetable or canola oil for frying.
- Serve fritters immediately after frying for maximum crispiness.
