Corn Fritters

Fritters are made with a biscuit-like dough that's deep fried until golden.

Recipe Ingredients:

2 ears fresh corn or 1 cup frozen corn, thawed
2 large eggs, separated
1/4 cup all-purpose flour
3/4 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
Dash ground nutmeg

Cooking Directions:

1. In a deep fryer or deep skillet, preheat about 2-inches of oil to 365°F (185°C).
2. Cut kernels from cobs with a sharp knife. In a medium bowl, combine kernels with egg yolks; mix well.
3. Sift flour with salt, baking powder, cinnamon, and nutmeg. Stir into corn mixture.
4. Beat egg whites until stiff but not dry. Gently fold into corn mixture.
5. Drop batter by spoonfuls into hot oil. Cook until golden, about 3
   minutes, turning once. Drain on paper towels. Serve immediately.

Makes about 24 fritters.
