Ingredients
- 2 large tomatoes, diced
- 1 cup fresh or frozen corn kernels
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/2 cup milk (or a non-dairy alternative)
- 1/4 cup finely chopped green onions (optional)
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Olive oil for frying
Instructions
- Dice the tomatoes and set aside.
- If using fresh corn, cut the kernels off the cob. If using frozen corn, defrost and drain any excess water.
- In a blender, add half of the diced tomatoes and half of the corn kernels. Blend until you have a smooth mixture.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the flour and baking powder.
- Add the blended tomato and corn mixture to the bowl, followed by the milk. Mix until you have a smooth batter.
- Fold in the remaining diced tomatoes, corn kernels, green onions (if using), and minced garlic. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
- In a large skillet, heat a few tablespoons of olive oil over medium-high heat.
- Once the oil is hot, drop spoonfuls of the batter into the skillet, flattening them slightly with the back of the spoon.
- Cook for 3-4 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and crispy. Transfer to a paper towel-lined plate to drain any excess oil.
- Serve the fritters warm, garnished with extra green onions or a dollop of sour cream if desired.
