Equipment

Ingredients

2 teaspoons vegetable oil plus more for frying
1 cup sweet corn kernels you can substitute a drained can of corn, about 2 cups, but you'll want to double the rest of the recipe
2 green onions sliced thin
1 small red bell pepper diced
¼ cup fresh parsley chopped
1 cup Bisquick
1 teaspoon Creole seasoning
1 lime zested
¼ cup milk
1 large egg
1 cup Southwestern sauce

Instructions

Heat the 2 teaspoons of oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat.
Add the corn and cook, stirring, about 2 minutes or until the corn turns golden brown.
Add the green onion and bell peppers and saute 3-5 minutes or until the vegetables just start to soften.
Remove from heat and stir in the parsley.
Combine the Bisquick, Creole seasoning and lime zest in a large bowl.
In a small bowl, whisk together the milk and egg.
Pour into the Bisquick mixture and stir.
Pour the vegetables into the Bisquick mixture and combine.
Heat a deep fryer with oil to 375 F. Or you can use a Dutch oven with about 2" of oil added.
Working in batches, drop heaping tablespoons of the batter into the oil.
Fry about 1 minute, then flip and cook another 30 seconds-1 minute or until golden brown.
Remove to a paper towel-lined plate.
Serve with Southwester sauce for dipping and/or drizzle the fritters with the sauce.

Notes

Substitute jalapeno for the bell pepper for a nice spicy kick!
