Blueberry Goat Cheese Corn Fritters - A Delicious Twist on Classic Fritters
Blueberry Goat Cheese Corn Fritters are a mouth-watering appetizer that combines the sweetness of blueberries with the tanginess of goat cheese and the crunch of corn. This dish is perfect for any occasion, whether it's a family gathering or a party with friends.
Ingredients (serves 4):
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1/2 cup cornmeal
- 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
- 1/2 cup milk
- 1 egg
- 1/2 cup fresh blueberries
- 1/2 cup crumbled goat cheese
- 1/2 cup corn kernels
- 2 tablespoons chopped fresh chives
- Vegetable oil for frying
Cooking Tips:
- Make sure the oil is hot enough before frying the fritters. Test it by dropping a small amount of batter into the oil. If it sizzles and floats to the top, the oil is ready.
- Don't overcrowd the pan when frying the fritters. This will prevent them from cooking evenly and becoming soggy.
- Serve the fritters immediately after frying for the best taste and texture.
Instructions:
1. In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, cornmeal, baking powder, salt, and black pepper.
2. In a separate bowl, whisk together the milk and egg.
3. Add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients and stir until just combined.
4. Fold in the blueberries, goat cheese, corn kernels, and chives.
5. Heat about 1 inch of vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat.
6. Using a spoon or cookie scoop, drop the batter into the hot oil, making sure to leave enough space between each fritter.
7. Fry the fritters for 2-3 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and crispy.
8. Remove the fritters from the oil with a slotted spoon and place them on a paper towel-lined plate to drain any excess oil.
9. Serve the fritters hot with your favorite dipping sauce.
