Sweet Corn Croquettes
- 2 ears Fresh Sweet Corn
- 1/2 whole Medium Onion
- 2 Tablespoons Unsalted Butter
- 2 Tablespoons All-purpose Flour
- 1/2 cups Milk
- 1/2 cups Chicken Stock
- 1/2 teaspoons Freshly Ground Black Pepper
- 1 whole Egg
- 2 cups Panko Crumbs
- 3 cups Vegetable Oil
- Shuck the corn and remove the silks.
- Cut the kernels off the cobs as close to the cobs as possible.
- Discard the cobs and set the corn aside.
- Finely dice the onion.
- Melt the butter in a frying pan over medium heat.
- Add the onion and saute for 34 minutes or until the onions have softened.
- Add the flour and stir well.
- The mixture will be quite clumpy.
- Cook for 23 minutes more, stirring frequently.
- Slowly add the milk and chicken stock, whisking constantly until the flour clumps have smoothed out and the only texture that remains is from the onions.
- Add the corn and black pepper and stir.
- Continue to cook, stirring frequently, until mixture has thickened almost to a paste; it should be thick enough that it very slowly slides back when wiped away from the pan with a spoon.
- Remove the pan from the heat and add the egg, stirring well.
- Place in the refrigerator on a hot pad for 3045 minutes to allow the mixture to cool.
- Pour the panko crumbs in a small bowl and the oil into a medium pot (the oil should be at least 1 1/2 inches deep) fixed with a candy/deep fry thermometer.
- Carefully form balls (they may be somewhat runny) of the corn mixture and coat them completely with panko crumbs.
- When you are about half-done forming the croquettes, heat the pan containing the oil over medium-high heat until it reaches about 375 degrees F.
- Once all croquettes are formed, gently place 3-4 croquettes at a time in the oil, cooking for 10-30 seconds or until panko is a dark golden brown.
- Remove with a slotted spoon and place on a plate lined with paper towels.
- Scarf down as soon as possible.
