Please read about Deep-Frying.
Whisk together in a medium bowl:
- 1 ⅓ cups (165g) all-purpose flour
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- ¾ teaspoon salt
- ¾ teaspoon sweet paprika
Whisk together in another medium bowl until well blended:
- 2 large egg yolks (whites reserved)
- ½ cup (120g) milk
- ½ cup canned cream-style corn
Whisk the wet ingredients into the flour mixture until barely blended, leaving the batter lumpy. Fold in:
- ¾ cup finely diced deli ham or ½ cup finely diced country ham
- 2 tablespoons minced onion or green onion
- 2 tablespoons minced parsley
Beat until stiff but not dry:
- 2 large egg whites
Fold the whites into the batter.
Heat to 365°F in a deep-fryer, deep heavy pot, or Dutch oven:
- 3 inches vegetable oil or shortening
Drop the batter by 3-tablespoon dollops, a few at a time, into the hot oil and fry until golden brown, 3 to 4 minutes. Drain on a rack or paper towels.
