Easy Corn Fritters (Gluten Free)
Servings: 4
Ingredients
- 1/2 cup gluten-free flour
- 1 tsp baking powder
- 1/3 cup almond milk
- 1 beaten egg
- 2 cups corn kernels
- 1/2 cup finely chopped green onions plus more for garnish
- 1 tsp salt
- 1/4 tsp pepper
- 1/4 tsp paprika
- 1/4 tsp cayenne
- avocado oil for frying
Instructions
- Prepare the Batter: In a medium-sized mixing bowl, combine the gluten-free flour and baking powder. Add the beaten egg and almond milk, and mix until the batter is smooth and free of lumps.
- Add the Vegetables and Seasonings: Stir in the corn kernels, chopped green onions, salt, black pepper, paprika, and cayenne pepper until evenly distributed throughout the batter.
- Heat the Oil: Heat a generous amount of avocado oil in a cast iron skillet over medium heat. The oil should be hot enough that a drop of batter sizzles upon contact.
- Cook the Fritters: Using a 1/4 cup measuring cup, drop spoonfuls of the corn mixture into the hot oil. Cook for about 3 minutes on one side, then flip the fritters and press them down gently to flatten. Continue cooking for another 5 minutes, flipping as needed, until the fritters are golden brown and crispy on both sides.
- Serve: Remove the fritters from the skillet and drain them on a paper towel-lined plate. Garnish with additional chopped green onions if desired. Serve warm with your favorite dipping sauce.
