Ingredients
Dry Ingredients
- 1 Cup all purpose flour
- 1 Tsp baking powder
- 1 Tsp salt (or more to taste)
- ½ Tsp paprika (or more to taste)
- 1 Tbsp sugar
Wet Ingredients
- 2 Large eggs
- ½ Cup milk
Add-ins
- 2 Cups sweet corn kernels
- ¼ Cup chopped green onions (or spring onions)
- ⅛ Cup chopped parsley (or more to taste)
Instructions
- Combine Dry: In a large mixing bowl, combine all the dry ingredients—flour, baking powder, salt, paprika, and sugar—mixing well to ensure even distribution.
- Whisk Wet: In a separate bowl, whisk together the eggs and milk until fully blended and smooth.
- Pour Liquid: Make a well in the center of the dry ingredients and pour in the egg and milk mixture.
- Mix Batter: Stir thoroughly to combine everything; the batter should have a thick pancake-like consistency.
- Add Corn and Herbs: Fold in the sweet corn kernels, chopped green onions, and parsley evenly throughout the batter.
- Preheat Air Fryer: Preheat your air fryer to 375°F (190°C). Spray the basket with nonstick cooking spray or line it with parchment paper to prevent sticking.
- Shape Fritters: Scoop 1-2 tablespoons of batter depending on desired fritter size, and drop them into the air fryer basket. Press each slightly to flatten, arranging in a single layer with some space between each for expansion.
- Cook First Side: Cook the fritters on the air fry setting at 375°F for 7 minutes until they begin to turn golden brown.
- Flip and Cook Second Side: Carefully flip each fritter with a spatula, then cook for an additional 4 to 6 minutes until the other side is browned and the fritters are cooked through.
- Serve: Remove from the air fryer and serve warm with a dollop of sour cream or your favorite sauce on top.
Notes
- For best results, use fresh or thawed corn kernels.
- You can adjust the seasoning to taste by adding more salt or paprika.
- Using parchment paper in the air fryer helps prevent sticking and makes cleanup easier.
- Be careful when flipping the fritters as they can be delicate.
- If you don’t have an air fryer, these fritters can alternatively be pan-fried in a skillet on the stovetop.
