Ingredients
- 4 ears fresh corn
- 3 cups lard or oil for deep frying
- 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 tsp baking powder
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 1/2 tsp freshly ground black pepper
- 1/4 tsp cayenne pepper, or to taste (optional)
- 3 eggs, beaten until light
Directions
Clean the corn and cut the kernels from the cob. Using the dull edge of a knife, scrape the cob to remove as much "milk" as possible from the cobs, catching it in a small bowl. There should be about 1+1/2 cups corn and liquid. Sift the dry ingredients together into a mixing bowl. Add the corn, the reserved corn "milk", the eggs, and fold to combine thoroughly. Heat the oil in a deep pot until it reached 350 F, or until the surface shimmers. Drop the batter in the hot oil by the teaspoonful and fry until golden brown on all sides. Drain on paper towels and serve immediately. Makes about 4 dozen fritters.
