Corn Fritters

I just had a craving today for corn fritters. I've never made them before but they were a success. This is what I did:

Corn Fritters:

1 cup flour
2 tsp baking powder
2 tsp cayenne
2 tsp black pepper
2 tsp sugar
1 tsp salt

2 eggs, separated
1 can of corn nibblets

Oil for frying (about 1.5 inches deep in your pan)

Put the egg whites in the fridge while you're doing steps one and two. It will help to have them cold when you're beating them.

Mix the dry ingredients in a bowl.

Then mix the egg yolks with the corn in a separate bowl. Add the flour mixture.

Then beat the egg whites until almost stiff and fold into the mix.

Heat the oil until it's quite hot.

Tip: To know when oil is hot enough to fry in, stick a wooden chopstick into the centre of the pan. It ought to take under two seconds for bubbles to form around the chopstick.

Using a large tablespoon, spoon the dough into the oil. It should be about thirty seconds a side, if the oil is hot enough. Just flash fry them and put them on paper towel to drain.

Enjoy with maple syrup.

Chinchin!
