Ingredients:
Instructions:
- Remove the husks and silk from the sweet corn cobs.
- Using a sharp knife, carefully cut the kernels off the cobs. Place them in a large mixing bowl.
- In a large skillet, cook the diced bacon over medium heat until crispy. Remove with a slotted spoon and drain on paper towels. Keep a bit of the bacon grease for frying the fritters if desired.
- Finely chop the red pepper and add it to the bowl with the corn kernels.
- Add the cooked bacon to the bowl as well.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, eggs, milk, salt, and black pepper until smooth.
- Pour the batter over the corn, red pepper, and bacon mixture. Stir in the chopped chives or scallions if using.
- Heat a thin layer of olive oil or vegetable oil (or reserved bacon grease) in a large skillet over medium heat.
- For each fritter, spoon about 2 tablespoons of the mixture into the hot skillet, pressing down lightly with the back of the spoon to flatten.
- Cook for 2-3 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and crispy. Fry the fritters in batches, avoiding overcrowding the skillet.
- Transfer the cooked fritters to a plate lined with paper towels to drain any excess oil.
- Serve hot, optionally garnished with extra fresh chives or scallions, and enjoy as a delicious meal or snack.
Tips:
- Use fresh corn cobs for the best flavor and texture. If fresh corn is not available, frozen kernels can also be used.
- Cook the bacon until it's crispy to add a nice crunch to the fritters.
- Remove the seeds from the red pepper if you prefer a milder flavor.
- Add a pinch of salt and pepper to the mixture to enhance the flavors.
- Use a non-stick pan to prevent the fritters from sticking and to achieve an even golden-brown color.
- Fry the fritters over medium heat to ensure they cook through without burning on the outside.
- Serve with a dipping sauce like sour cream or a spicy aioli for an extra kick.
With just a few ingredients, you can create these irresistible bacon and sweet corn fritters that are sure to please any crowd. Serve them hot and crispy, and watch them disappear in no time. Enjoy making and sharing this delightful recipe with your loved ones!
