Avocado Fritters with Avocado-Cilantro Cream Dipping Sauce

Preheat oven to 200ºF. Pour 2″ of vegetable oil into a deep fryer or a heavy skillet and heat to 350ºF.

In a large bowl combine flour, cornmeal, baking powder and salt. Stir to combine. Add eggs, milk, cheese, corn, onion, peppers and cilantro. Stir to incorporate. Gently fold in avocados.

Scoop batter into heaping teaspoons and gently drop into the hot oil. Don’t crowd the pan, so do this in batches if you need to. They are done cooking when they are golden brown. When done remove them from the oil using a slotted spoon or kitchen spider and drain on paper towels while you keep them warm in a 200ºF oven. Repeat until you use all the batter.

Prepare dipping sauce by mixing all ingredients in a bowl. If you want a smooth consistency, give it a whirl for two minutes in a blender or food processor.

Serve fritters with a side of dipping sauce. Enjoy!
