Yields: 12 fritters.
1 cup all-purpose flour
2 tablespoons granulated sugar
1½ teaspoons baking powder
¼ teaspoon salt
½ cup milk
1 egg, slightly beaten
2 tablespoons butter, melted
½ cup whole-kernel corn, drained
shortening or cooking oil
powdered sugar
Combine flour, granulated sugar, baking powder, and salt in a medium mixing bowl. Add milk, egg, butter, and corn; stir until just moistened. Drop batter by tablespoons, about 4 at a time, into hot oil or shortening. Cook 4 to 5 minutes, or until golden brown, turning only once. Drain on paper towels. Tip: Keep fritters warm by placing them on a baking sheet in an oven heated to 300˚ while frying remaining batter. Serve warm, dusted with powdered sugar.
