Ingredients
  

  • Vegetable oil for deep frying
  • 2 large eggs
  • ¾ cup milk
  • 1 cup cream-style corn
  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 2 tsp baking powder
  • 1 tbsp sugar, or to taste
  • ½ tsp salt
  • ⅔ cup finely chopped ham (or 1/3 to 1/2 cup of diced cooked bacon), or 1/3 to 1/2 cup of diced cooked bacon
  • ¼ cup finely chopped bell pepper, optional

Recommended Equipment

Instructions

  • Heat about 2 inches of oil in a Dutch oven or deep fryer to 365°F.
    Vegetable oil for deep frying
  • In a mixing bowl, whisk the eggs with the milk. Stir the cream-style corn into the egg mixture.
    2 large eggs | 3/4 cup milk | 1 cup cream-style corn
  • In another bowl, combine the flour, baking powder, sugar, and salt; stir to blend. Add the dry ingredients to the first mixture and stir to blend. Fold in the chopped ham or bacon along with bell pepper, if using.
    2 cups all-purpose flour | 2 tsp baking powder | 1 tbsp sugar | 1/2 tsp salt | 2/3 cup finely chopped ham (or 1/3 to 1/2 cup of diced cooked bacon) | 1/4 cup finely chopped bell pepper
  • With a tablespoon or small scoop, drop the batter, 4 to 6 at a time, into the hot oil and cook for 3 to 5 minutes or until golden brown. Remove cooked fritters to a paper towel-lined plate or pan and repeat with the remaining batter.
    • Keeping the oil at a steady 365°F is key — too cool and the fritters absorb oil and turn greasy; too hot and they brown before cooking through.
  • Serve the fritters warm with syrup, hot sauce, ranch dressing or sour cream.
