In a bowl, sift together flour, baking powder, salt, sugar, and cayenne. In another bowl, beat together egg, coconut milk, hot sauce, and butter. Add wet ingredients to dry ingredients and mix until it comes together. Don’t overmix. Fold in remaining ingredients.
Ask a question about this stepIn a large heavy saucepan, dutch oven, or deepfryer, heat about 4 inches of vegetable oil to 325˚ F. Carefully, drop spoonfuls of the batter and cook until golden brown, working in batches. Remove to a towel-lined plate and sprinkle with salt.
Ask a question about this stepA few things: (1) don’t overcrowd because it will bring the oil temperature too far down, and (2) be careful – it splatters when cooking.
Ask a question about this stepServe warm with a dipping sauce of your choice…a cilantro aioli would work well here or even a spicy ketchup.
Ask a question about this stepHi, LAF. I have not tried to do that, but would love the feedback if you do! I'm always weary with fried foods, texture and do-ahead, so I mostly leave it for a la minute...
They look amazing, can't wait to try! If I were to make for a large party, do you suggest frying ahead of time and heating in oven?? Or frying during party?
Thanks, panda! I think frying during the party, though inconvenient, would yield the best results. If you must, you could fry them right before and keep them in a 200F oven on a wire rack on a baking sheet. If you put them directly on the sheet or cover them, you run the risk of them going a bit soggy. Hope this helps!
I've made these twice during parties -- once at one of my own and another at one I was catering. People love to watch. But just a warning -- sometimes one of the corn kernels may pop and then grease spatters widely.
True! Frying at a high temp with corn can be dangerous, so do be careful!
Everyone at the table loved these! Served them with a cilantro and lime aoili. Great recipe.
Great! That sounds like such a delicious combination :). So happy you made them.
I just made these and they are not only delicious but they taste great too!. I served them plain and they were a hit. The flavors of the fritters by themselves have a lot going on and don't need anything except a little sea salt.
Fantastic! I'm so happy they worked out for you.
I meant to say that they not only LOOK delicious but they taste great too! I just did a lunch for the owners of the Auberge hotels (Calistoga Ranch, Esperanza, Rancho Valencia, Auberge de Soleil, etc ) and they loved them...ate them all!
That is amazing! I LOVE the Auberge resorts - stayed at Auberge de Soleil last time I was in Napa. I'm glad they got to enjoy them! Thanks, dymnyno, for the feedback.
I have saved this one too, it looks delightful!
Thanks, Sunchowder!
What a great recipe - I love the combination of ingredients with the surprise of coconut.
I'm so glad! it was such a common combination for me as a child, I sometime forget that it can be "surprising". :)
Thanks, Sagegreen! You know i'm a fan of your recipes :).
Thanks, lapadia!
Oh my. These sound heavenly! And they way you described that corn on the cob? I have to make that, too! LOVE IT!
LOL...i am a true mess with corn even now as an adult! Glad you like the recipe :).
Can't wait to make these! I'm a little afraid of how quickly I'll eat them.
They do go quickly. My husband inhaled like 5 of these when he got home the night I made them...don't leave them sitting out is the moral of the story...:)
How come no-one has given this the "thumbs up" yet - here goes.
Very sweet of you, Lizthechef!
Wow, thanks! Who would have guessed...i definitely have to submit now! :)
You must be a psychic to know the theme was going to be corn...this is a perfect recipe!
I agree!
Thanks! i warn you they are addictive...
Thanks! It is a favorite of mine :).

Have you tried making these ahead, freezing them and reheating in a hot oven?
