Ingredients

• 2 cups Fresh corn kernels (about 3 ears of corn)
• 1 cup All-purpose flour
• 0.25 cup Cornmeal
• 1 teaspoon Baking powder
• 0.5 teaspoon Salt
• 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
• 1 teaspoon Granulated sugar
• 2 large Eggs
• 0.5 cup Whole milk
• 2 tablespoons Scallions, finely chopped
• 1 tablespoon Fresh parsley, finely chopped
• 1 cup Vegetable oil (for frying)

Directions

Step 1

In a large mixing bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, cornmeal, baking powder, salt, black pepper, and sugar. Whisk to blend evenly.

Step 2

In a separate medium bowl, beat the eggs and mix in the milk until smooth.

Step 3

Add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients and stir until just combined. Do not overmix.

Step 4

Fold in the fresh corn kernels, scallions, and parsley. The batter will be thick and chunky.

Step 5

Heat the vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium heat until shimmering, about 350°F (175°C).

Step 6

Using a tablespoon or small scoop, carefully drop spoonfuls of the batter into the hot oil, spacing them at least 1 inch apart.

Step 7

Fry the fritters for 2-3 minutes on the first side, or until golden and crisp. Flip and fry for another 2-3 minutes on the other side.

Step 8

Remove the fritters with a slotted spoon and place them on a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil.

Step 9

Continue frying in batches until all the batter is used, making sure to adjust the heat to prevent burning.

Step 10

Serve the fritters warm with your favorite dipping sauce, such as sour cream or spicy aioli, if desired.
