This recipe for corn fritters with pancake mix is perfect for a quick and easy snack, appetizer, or side dish. Let's get started!
Ingredients:
- 1 cup pancake mix
- 1/2 cup cornmeal
- 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
- 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 large egg
- 1/2 cup milk
- 1 cup canned corn kernels, drained
- 1/4 cup finely chopped onion
- Oil for frying
Instructions:
1. In a large mixing bowl, combine pancake mix, cornmeal, baking powder, salt, black pepper, and garlic powder. Mix well.
2. In a separate bowl, beat the egg and mix in milk, canned corn kernels, and finely chopped onion.
3. Add the egg mixture to the dry ingredients and mix well until the batter is smooth and uniform.
4. Set a large skillet or frying pan over medium-high heat and add enough oil to cover the bottom of the pan (about 1/2 inch deep).
5. When the oil is hot, drop spoonfuls of the batter into the pan, using a tablespoon or cookie scoop. Flatten the fritters slightly with the back of a spoon or spatula.
6. Fry the fritters for about 1-2 minutes per side, until golden brown and crispy.
7. Remove the fritters from the pan using a slotted spoon or spatula and place them on a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil.
8. Serve the fritters warm with your favorite dipping sauce, such as ranch dressing, sour cream, or honey mustard.
Tips:
- You can use fresh corn kernels instead of canned corn, but it may take longer to cook and soften.
- If the batter is too thick, add a splash of milk until it reaches the desired consistency.
- If the fritters start to burn or cook too quickly, reduce the heat to medium and adjust accordingly.
- You can make the batter ahead of time and store it in the refrigerator for up to 24 hours. Just give it a quick stir before using.
- You can also add other ingredients to the batter, such as chopped jalapeños, shredded cheddar cheese, or diced bell peppers, for extra flavor and texture.
