Frituras de Maiz Tierno (Cuban Corn Fritters)

Recipe from tasteofcuba.com courtesy Sonia Martinez from Cocina Cubana Club.

Serves 4 

Ingredients

• 1 cup fresh corn kernels, ground to a pulp
• 1 egg, well beaten
• 1/2 tsp aniseed, ground or pounded with mortar and pestle
• 5 tbsp sugar
• 1/2 tsp salt
• 1/2 tsp vinegar (added so the fritters do not absorb as much oil)
• Oil for frying

Preparation

• Mix all the ingredients. If too liquid, add a small amount of all-purpose flour (I used about 3 tbsp) and mix well. Drop in hot (375° F) oil a tablespoonful at a time and fry till golden brown. Dry on paper towels and serve hot.
