Description

These Sweet Corn Fritter Stacks with Honey Butter are a delightful breakfast or brunch treat featuring crispy, golden corn fritters layered with a luscious honey-infused butter. Perfectly balanced with a hint of sweetness and savory notes, this recipe combines fresh corn and cheddar cheese with aromatic herbs, making each bite flavorful and satisfying.

Ingredients

For the Corn Fritters:

  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1/3 cup milk
  • 2 cups fresh or frozen (thawed) corn kernels
  • 2 green onions, finely chopped
  • 1/4 cup shredded cheddar cheese (optional)
  • 2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley or chives
  • Oil for pan-frying

For the Honey Butter:

  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
  • 2 tablespoons honey
  • Pinch of salt

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Batter: In a large bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, salt, and pepper. In another bowl, beat the eggs and milk until smooth. Combine the wet ingredients with the dry, mixing until just incorporated. Fold in the corn kernels, green onions, cheddar cheese if using, and chopped herbs gently to distribute evenly.
  2. Cook the Fritters: Heat a large skillet over medium heat and add a thin layer of oil to coat the surface. Using about 1/4 cup of the batter per fritter, drop spoonfuls onto the skillet. Flatten each slightly with a spatula for even cooking. Cook each side for 2 to 3 minutes or until they turn golden brown and are cooked through. Transfer cooked fritters to a paper towel-lined plate to absorb excess oil. Repeat with the remaining batter, cooking in batches to avoid overcrowding.
  3. Make the Honey Butter: While the fritters are cooking, beat the softened butter with honey and a pinch of salt in a small bowl until the mixture is creamy and smooth, creating a sweet and buttery topping.
  4. Assemble the Stacks: Stack 2 to 3 fritters per serving and spread or dollop the honey butter generously on top. Serve the stacks warm for the best flavor and texture experience.

Notes

  • For crispier fritters, cook in batches and avoid overcrowding the pan to maintain the skillet’s temperature.
  • Add a dash of chili flakes to the batter for a sweet and spicy twist which complements the corn nicely.
  • Cheddar cheese is optional but adds a rich flavor and melty texture to the fritters.
  • Use fresh corn kernels for peak sweetness, but frozen thawed corn works well in a pinch.
  • Leftover fritters can be reheated in a skillet or oven to maintain crispiness rather than microwaving.
