How to Make Southern Corn Fritters
- Preheat about 2 inches of oil or shortening to 360°F (180°C) in a large, heavy-bottomed pot or deep fryer.
- In a large bowl, whisk together the egg yolks, buttermilk, and melted butter.
- In a separate bowl, gently whisk together the cornmeal, all-purpose flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and black pepper.
- Add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients and stir until just combined. Do not overmix.
- In a clean bowl, beat the egg whites until stiff peaks form.
- Gently fold the egg whites into the batter until just combined.
- Using a spoon or ice cream scoop, drop rounded tablespoons of batter into the hot oil, ensuring not to overcrowd the pot.
- Fry for 2-3 minutes per side, or until golden brown and cooked through.
- Remove the fritters from the oil and place them on a wire rack or paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil.
- Serve immediately and enjoy! These are best served warm.
