Corn Fritters

After a successful back to school shopping trip with my mom, I thought a quick snack was in order before I continued with the rest of my day. So I thought I would use more of the ingredients that I had laying around the kitchen and throw something together.

Corn Fritters

1/4 cup cornmeal
1/4 cup flour
A pinch of paprika
1 egg
1/4 cup buttermilk
1/2 a small shallot
1 ear of corn - kernels cut off
Salt and pepper

In a small bowl mix together cornmeal, flour, paprika. In a measuring cup whisk together egg and buttermilk. Add buttermilk mixture to flour mixture. In a small sauté pan sauté shallots and corn kernels til soft. Add sautéed vegetables to bowl and season with pepper. In a sauté pan add a few tablespoons of canola oil, when heated add medium sized spoonfuls of batter and cool a minute or two on each side until golden brown. Drain on a paper towel lined plate and seaon with salt. Serve over a salad or alone as a hearty snack.

As we all prepare for my parents to go away for two weeks, I can't help but think about ways I can prepare to keep up with the blog and of all the interesting things I can make. Tomorrow I am going to join my parents on their weekly shopping trip at the farmers market and I may even go to the grocery store to pick up a few extra things to have in the house, so till next time,
Keep Cooking Brooklyn!
