Delicate Corn Fritters
These are delicate corn fritters that use beaten egg whites to make them light.
Ingredients
2
ears of tender fresh corn
1/3
cup
sifted all purpose flour
1/2
teaspoon
baking powder
2
eggs
separated
1/2
teaspoon
salt
or to taste
Pinch
cayenne pepper
Oil for frying
Instructions
Cut the corn from the cobs, and scrape the cobs to extract all the milk.
Sift the flour with the baking powder and add this to the corn. Mix in the egg yolks, and add in the salt and pepper.
Beat the egg whites until stiff peaks, and fold them into the corn mixture.
Heat the oil to 375 degrees F. Drop by tablespoons into the hot oil, and fry until browned on both sides.
Remove with a slotted spoon onto paper towels for draining.
Serve hot.
