Ingredients Needed

- Large eggs – Helps bind fritter ingredients for ideal consistency.
- All-purpose flour – Adds structure and helps hold fritters together.

How to Make Blackstone Corn Fritters
Step One: Preheat your Blackstone griddle over medium heat. It’s important to ensure the griddle is evenly heated before cooking the fritters.
Step Two: In a large mixing bowl, combine the corn kernels, eggs, flour, cornmeal, baking powder, milk or buttermilk, salt, pepper, and any optional ingredients like chopped green onions or herbs. Stir until the batter is well combined and slightly thick.
Step Three: Lightly grease the hot griddle with cooking oil or butter to prevent the fritters from sticking.
Step Four: Spoon a portion of the batter onto the griddle for each fritter, using about 1/4 cup of batter for each fritter. Leave some space between each fritter to allow for spreading. Use the back of the spoon or a spatula to gently spread the batter into a round shape, about 3-4 inches in diameter.
Step Five; Cook the fritters for about 3-4 minutes on each side, or until they are golden brown and crispy. Use a spatula to carefully flip them over halfway through cooking.
Step Six: Once cooked, transfer the corn fritters to a plate lined with paper towels to absorb any excess oil. Serve the corn fritters warm as a delicious appetizer, side dish, or snack. They pair well with sour cream, salsa, or your favorite dipping sauce.
Blackstone Corn Fritters Recipe Tips
- Use Fresh or Frozen Corn – Fresh corn kernels add the best natural sweetness and texture, but frozen works well too if thawed and drained.
- Don’t Overmix the Batter – Mix ingredients just until combined to keep the fritters light and tender, avoiding a dense texture.
- Season Well – Corn can be mild, so be generous with salt, pepper, and any herbs or spices you like (paprika or chili powder add a nice kick).
- Preheat Your Cooking Surface – Whether you’re using a Blackstone griddle or skillet, get it hot before adding the batter to ensure a crisp, golden crust.
- Use Enough Oil – Corn fritters benefit from a bit of oil to get that crispy outside without sticking.
- Don’t Flip Too Early – Let the fritters cook until the edges look set and the bottom is golden before flipping to avoid breaking.
- Keep Warm in Oven – If making a large batch, keep cooked fritters warm on a low oven while finishing the rest.
- Serve with a Dipping Sauce – Ranch, spicy mayo, or a tangy salsa complements the sweetness of the corn nicely.
Storing Instructions
Refrigerator: Place cooled fritters in an airtight container or wrap them tightly in plastic wrap. They’ll keep well for up to 3–4 days. Reheat them in a skillet or oven to maintain crispiness.
Freezer: For longer storage, freeze fritters in a single layer on a baking sheet until firm, then transfer them to a freezer-safe bag or container. They’ll keep for up to 2 months. Reheat directly from frozen in a hot oven or air fryer to get them crispy again. Avoid microwaving if you want to keep the texture crispy, as it tends to make them soggy.
Easy Blackstone Corn Fritters Recipe Faqs
Can I use canned corn instead of fresh or frozen? Yes, but drain it well to avoid excess moisture that can make fritters soggy.
How do I know when the fritters are ready to flip? When the edges look set and golden, and the bottom is crispy, carefully flip them.
Can I make the batter ahead of time? Yes, you can prepare the batter and refrigerate it for up to 2 hours before cooking.
What’s the best oil to cook the fritters in? Use a neutral oil with a high smoke point like vegetable, canola, or avocado oil.
How do I keep fritters crispy after cooking? Keep them warm in a low oven on a wire rack to prevent sogginess.
Can I add other ingredients to the fritters? Absolutely! Chopped herbs, diced jalapeños, or shredded cheese can add extra flavor.
What To Serve With Blackstone Corn Fritters
Blackstone Corn Fritters pair perfectly with fresh, vibrant sides that balance their crispy, savory flavor. Serve them alongside a crisp green salad or a tangy slaw to add freshness and crunch.
They also go great with dipping sauces like spicy mayo, ranch, or salsa for an extra burst of flavor. For a heartier meal, pair the fritters with grilled chicken or fish and some roasted vegetables to round out the plate.
