How to Make Kale Corn Fritters

  1. In a large bowl, whisk together 1 ½ cups all-purpose flour, 1 cup cornmeal, 1 teaspoon salt, 2 cups chopped kale, and 1 cup corn kernels.
  2. In a medium bowl, lightly beat 2 large eggs.
  3. Whisk in ¼ cup oil or melted butter and ½ cup milk.
  4. Create a well in the center of the dry ingredients and pour in the wet ingredients.
  5. Gently mix until just combined. Do not overmix.
  6. (Optional) Sauté 1/2 cup chopped onion until softened; add to batter.
  7. (Optional) Cook 4 slices bacon until crispy, crumble, and add to batter, reserving 2 tablespoons of bacon grease.
  8. If using bacon grease, heat 2 tablespoons in a large skillet over medium heat. Otherwise, heat 2 tablespoons oil in a large skillet over medium heat.
  9. Drop spoonfuls of batter onto the hot skillet, leaving space between each fritter.
  10. Cook for 2-3 minutes per side, or until golden brown and cooked through. Fritters will begin to look firm and egg-like around the edges and begin to bubble slightly before flipping.
  11. Adjust heat as needed to prevent burning.
  12. Serve warm with sour cream, cheddar cheese, or your favorite topping.
  13. For vegetarian fritters, omit the bacon.
