How to Make Air Fryer Corn Fritters
These fritters are unbelievably easy to make. Start off by prepping the corn. You can use fresh, frozen or canned corn. Next, make the breading mixture and mix in corn. Take spoonful of each and flatten them like small pancakes. Air fry or pan fry them till golden brown. Flip, cook, serve and devour!
if you want to make them on the stove top – Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium high heat. Scoop tablespoons of batter for each fritter, flattening with a spatula, and cook until the underside is nicely golden brown, about 2 minutes. Flip and cook on the other side, about 1-2 minutes longer.
These fritters store well in air tight containers in the refrigerator for up to one week. To re-heat, place in a lightly greased skillet over medium heat and cook until warmed throughout OR place in a pre-heated 375 Fahrenheit oven until warmed throughout.
