How to Make Big John's Corn Fritters
- In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, salt, cayenne pepper (if using), and sugar.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together the egg, melted butter, applesauce, and milk.
- Gently fold the corn kernels into the wet ingredients.
- Gradually pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients, stirring until just combined. Do not overmix.
- Heat vegetable oil in a deep fryer or large, heavy-bottomed pot to 365°F (185°C). Use a thermometer to monitor the temperature.
- Drop spoonfuls of batter (about 2 tablespoons each) into the hot oil, being careful not to overcrowd the pot.
- Fry the fritters for 2-3 minutes per side, or until golden brown and cooked through. Turn them gently with a slotted spoon.
- Remove the fritters from the oil and place them on a wire rack or paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil.
- While still warm (or after cooling completely), sprinkle with granulated sugar, if desired.
- Serve warm or cold and enjoy!
