Frituras de Maíz Tierno (Fresh Corn Fritters)

Recipe by Pascual Perez and Hispanic Kitchen member Chef Sonia Martinez

Ingredients:
1 cup fresh corn kernels, ground to a pulp
1 egg, well beaten
½ teaspoon anise seed, ground or pounded w/mortar and pestle
5 tablespoons sugar
½ teaspoon salt
Oil for frying

Directions:
Mix all the ingredients. If too liquid, add just a small amount of all-purpose flour and mix well. Drop in hot frying oil (375F) one spoonful at a time. Should yield enough for 4 people.

Sonia says: If you add a little bit of vinegar, about ½ teaspoon, to the batter, the fritters will not absorb as much oil.
