Ingredients

• 2 cups Fresh corn kernels
• 1 cup All-purpose flour
• 0.25 cup Cornmeal
• 1 teaspoon Baking powder
• 0.5 teaspoon Salt
• 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
• 1 large Egg
• 0.5 cup Milk
• 2 tablespoons Green onion, finely chopped
• 0.5 cup Vegetable oil (for frying)
• 0 Optional toppings: sour cream, hot sauce, or honey

Directions

Step 1

In a large mixing bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, cornmeal, baking powder, salt, and black pepper. Whisk together until well mixed.

Step 2

Add the fresh corn kernels and chopped green onion to the dry mixture, stirring to coat them evenly.

Step 3

In a separate small bowl, whisk together the egg and milk until smooth.

Step 4

Pour the wet ingredients into the bowl with the dry ingredients and corn mixture. Stir until just combined, forming a thick batter. Do not overmix.

Step 5

Heat the vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium heat until it shimmers.

Step 6

Spoon 2-3 tablespoons of the batter for each fritter into the hot oil, flattening them slightly with the back of the spoon.

Step 7

Cook the fritters for 2-3 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and crisp. Work in batches, if necessary, to avoid overcrowding the pan.

Step 8

Transfer cooked fritters to a plate lined with paper towels to drain excess oil.

Step 9

Serve the fritters warm with optional toppings such as sour cream, hot sauce, or honey, as desired.
