1987 Runner-Up: Corn Fritters With Fresh Mango Chutney

Recipe By: San Francisco Chronicle
Published in: San Francisco Chronicle

1 1/4 cup flour
2 1/4 teaspoons baking powder
1 teaspoons salt
2 eggs -- separated
1 cup buttermilk
1 1/2 teaspoons vegetable oil
2 cup corn kernels
1/2 cup diced onion
1 or 2 red jalapenos -- seeded, finely diced
1/4 cup chopped cilantro
Oil for deep frying
1 recipe Fresh Mango Chutney

Sift the dry ingredients together. Beat the egg yolks, buttermilk and the
1 1/2 teaspoons of oil until blended. Gradually stir in the flour
mixture. Beat the egg whites until they form stiff white peaks, then fold
them into the batter. Gently stir in the corn, onion, jalapenos and
cilantro. Pour enough oil for deep-frying into a cast-iron skillet or
wok. Heat to 375 degrees. Carefully drop the batter by the tablespoonful
into the hot oil. Fry until golden brown on both sides, turning once. As
each fritter is done, remove it from the oil with a slotted spoon and
drain briefly on paper towels. Serve the fritters hot with the chutney.

Yields about 3 dozen
