Brilio.net - Corn fritters are the right choice to be served as a side dish with rice or enjoyed directly as a snack. The combination of the sweet taste of corn and the savory dough makes it hard to stop eating. Serving it with chili sauce will add to the enjoyment.
Everyone has their favorite corn fritter creation, but the crunchy texture is a favorite for many. Unfortunately, many do not know how to make it properly, so the results are often soft. In fact, some have experienced failure when frying, where the corn fritter dough disintegrates in the oil.
For those who often experience failure, you can try the trick from netizens on the YouTube account Mbok Midut. It is recommended not to add wheat flour to the dough so that the results are crispy and do not crumble.
How to make corn fritters so they are crispy and don't fall apart when fried.First, you need to prepare a bowl to make the corn fritter dough. First, fill the bowl with the filling and fritter seasonings, such as corn kernels, spring onions, chilies, flavorings, and others. Netizens on the YouTube account Mbok Midut admitted that they also like to add tofu so that their corn fritters are more delicious, nutritious, and filling.
After all the filling ingredients are put into the bowl, stir until everything is evenly mixed.

Next, just add tapioca flour and rice flour. Yup, these two types of flour are the key to making corn fritters crispy. So, these corn fritters don't need to use wheat flour anymore, okay?
"To make it crispier, Mbok adds 1/4 teaspoon of baking powder," added YouTube account owner Mbok Midut, quoted by BrilioFood on Wednesday (8/1).

Once done, just pour in the water little by little while stirring the dough. Mbok Midut explained, adjust the amount of water so that the dough is not too runny or too thick. The key to adjusting the texture of the dough like this is useful for making the fritters not easily fall apart when fried later.
Once the dough is at the right thickness, fry the fritters in hot oil. Fry until both sides of the fritters are browned and crispy. Finally, remove and drain until no longer oily, then the corn fritters are ready to be enjoyed.

How to store corn so it lasts.Corn that is stored carelessly can wrinkle and become stale in a short time. Well, to make it last longer, you can imitate the method of storing corn below.
1. In the refrigerator.
Corn can be stored in the refrigerator to extend its shelf life. You can keep the corn in the husk and just clean it before use. Store the corn in a plastic bag or sealed container in the cooler part of the refrigerator.
2. In the freezer.
If you want to store corn for a longer period of time, you can freeze it. First, blanch the corn in boiling water for 3-4 minutes, then cool in ice water and dry. Then store in a ziplock plastic bag or closed container in the freezer. When you want to use it, let the corn thaw a little in the refrigerator before cooking.
3. In cans.
You can also buy corn that has been canned. Be sure to check the expiration date and make sure the can is intact before using.
4. In vacuum packaging.
If you have a vacuum packing machine, you can use that to store corn. Pack the corn in a vacuum bag and make sure to remove as much air as possible before sealing it.
5. Dry.
You can dry corn to store it longer. Cut the corn off the cob and dry it in the oven on low heat or using a food dehydrator. Once dry, store it in an airtight container in a cool, dark place.
