Instructions
1
Begin by preheating your deep fryer or a large pan filled with vegetable oil to 380°F (approximately 193°C). Ensure that the oil is at least 2 inches deep for optimal frying.
2
In a large mixing bowl, beat the eggs and then add in the melted butter. Mix in the sugar and milk, blending until smooth.
3
Stir in the cream-style corn and the drained whole canned corn niblets, combining everything well.
4
In a separate bowl, sift together the flour, baking powder, salt, and a dash of pepper.
5
Gradually add the dry mixture to the wet ingredients, stirring until just combined. Be careful not to over-mix; small lumps are okay.
6
Using a spoon or an ice cream scooper, carefully drop spoonfuls of batter into the hot oil, ensuring not to overcrowd the pan. Fry for about 3 minutes, turning the fritters at least once to ensure even cooking.
7
Once they are golden brown and cooked through, remove the fritters from the oil and place them on paper towels to drain any excess oil.
8
Serve the sweet corn fritters warm, with a generous drizzle of maple syrup over the top.
