Ingredients
Corn Fritters
- 1½ cups corn kernels
- ½ cup all-purpose flour
- 1 large egg
- ¼ cup milk
- ½ teaspoon baking powder
- ½ teaspoon salt
- Oil for frying (vegetable or canola oil recommended)
Whipped Feta Dip
- 1 cup feta cheese, crumbled
- ¼ cup Greek yogurt
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
Instructions
- Prepare the Batter: In a mixing bowl, combine the corn kernels, flour, egg, milk, baking powder, and salt. Stir until just combined to form a thick batter.
- Heat the Oil: Pour enough oil into a skillet to cover the bottom about ¼ inch deep and heat over medium heat until shimmering and hot.
- Cook the Fritters: Spoon small portions of batter into the hot oil, flattening slightly with the back of the spoon. Cook for 2–3 minutes on each side or until the fritters turn golden brown and crispy. Remove and drain on paper towels.
- Make the Whipped Feta: In a blender or food processor, combine crumbled feta cheese, Greek yogurt, and olive oil. Blend until smooth and creamy, scraping down the sides as needed.
- Serve: Serve the warm corn fritters alongside the whipped feta dip for dipping.
Notes
- For added freshness, mix in chopped herbs like parsley, chives, or dill into the batter.
- To make a lighter version, try cooking the fritters in an air fryer at 375°F (190°C) for about 10 minutes, flipping halfway through.
- Use fresh or thawed frozen corn kernels for best results.
- Ensure the oil is hot enough before frying to avoid greasy fritters.
