The secret to Jacques Pépin’s corn fritters? Sparkling water! Although Jacques uses corn in this fritter recipe, you can substitute a variety of ingredients that you may already have on hand – apples, vegetables, or even meat leftovers.

Helpful frying tip: use a wire rack instead of a paper towel when taking your fritter out of the pan. This will ensure that the bottom doesn’t become soggy.

What you’ll need: All-purpose flour, baking powder, sparkling water, whole corn, oil, salt
