cooking oil

🥗Healthier: olive oil

💰Cheaper: vegetable oil

Olive oil is healthier but vegetable oil is cheaper.

Heat 3 cups of neutral vegetable oil in a heavy deep pot or deep fryer to 365°F.

In a medium bowl, combine 1 cup of sifted flour, 1 teaspoon of baking powder, 1/2 teaspoon of salt, and 1/4 teaspoon of sugar.

In a separate bowl, lightly beat 1 egg, then mix in 1/2 cup of milk and 1 tablespoon of melted shortening or butter.

Add the wet mixture to the dry ingredients and mix to combine.

Drain a 12 oz can of whole kernel corn and fold the kernels into the batter.

Once the oil is hot enough, drop the batter by spoonfuls into the oil, cooking in batches.

Fry the fritters until golden, about 2 and 1/2 to 3 minutes.

Remove the fritters from the oil with a spider or slotted spoon and drain them on paper towels.
