Golden Pantry Fritters

These savory, crispy-on-the-outside, and tender-on-the-inside fritters are a perfect quick lunch, dinner, or satisfying snack. They get their golden hue from the corn and a surprisingly rich flavor from a few simple spices.

Prep Time: 10 minutes Cook Time: 10-12 minutes

The 7 Pantry Ingredients:

1. 1 can (15 oz) Chickpeas (also called garbanzo beans)
2. 1 can (15 oz) Corn
3. ½ cup All-Purpose Flour
4. 1 tsp Garlic Powder
5. 1 tsp Onion Powder
6. 1 Egg
7. Vegetable Oil (for frying)

(Salt and pepper are considered kitchen staples, so they aren't counted in the seven!)

Instructions:

1. Prep the Cans: Drain the can of corn completely. Drain the can of chickpeas, rinse them well under cold water, and pat them dry with a paper towel.
2. Mash the Base: In a medium-sized bowl, add the dried chickpeas. Using a fork or a potato masher, roughly mash about half of them, leaving the other half mostly whole for texture.
3. Combine Ingredients: Add the drained corn, flour, egg, garlic powder, and onion powder to the bowl with the chickpeas. Season generously with salt and pepper.
4. Mix the Batter: Stir everything together until it forms a thick, chunky batter. Don’t overmix; just ensure everything is combined.
5. Heat the Skillet: Pour vegetable oil into a large skillet to a depth of about ¼ inch. Heat over medium-high heat. You'll know the oil is ready when a tiny drop of batter sizzles immediately.
6. Fry the Fritters: Carefully drop heaping tablespoons of the batter into the hot oil, gently flattening them slightly with the back of the spoon. Don't overcrowd the pan.
7. Cook to Golden: Fry for 2-3 minutes per side, until they are deep golden brown and crispy.
8. Drain and Serve: Use a slotted spoon or spatula to transfer the cooked fritters to a plate lined with a paper towel to drain excess oil. Serve immediately while hot!

They are delicious on their own or served with any hot sauce, ketchup, or mayo you might have on hand. Enjoy your simple, delicious creation
