Ingredients
  

Fritter Mixture
  • 5 ears ears of corn Fresh corn for best flavor
  • 1/4 cup chopped basil Can also use other fresh herbs
  • 1 Tbsp chopped scallions
  • 2/3 cup shredded cheddar cheese Other types of cheese can be used
  • 3/4 tsp salt Adjust to taste
  • 1/2 tsp freshly ground black pepper
  • 3 large lightly beaten eggs
  • 3/4 cup all-purpose flour
  • Olive oil For frying
Whipped Hot Honey Butter
  • 8 Tbsp unsalted butter 1 stick, room temperature
  • 3 Tbsp honey
  • 1 Tbsp hot sauce Add more for extra spiciness

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Shuck the corn and cut the kernels from the cob into a medium mixing bowl.
  2. In the bowl, whisk together the corn kernels, basil, scallions, cheese, salt, pepper, and eggs. Gently fold in the flour until just combined.
Cooking
  1. Heat enough olive oil in a medium pan to cover the bottom over medium heat. Prepare a dinner plate lined with parchment paper for the cooked fritters.
  2. Add 2 heaping tablespoons of batter into the oil and press gently to flatten into fritters. Avoid overcrowding the pan.
  3. Cook until the fritters are golden brown on the bottoms, about 1-3 minutes, checking frequently. Flip and cook the other side for an additional 1-3 minutes until golden, then transfer to the paper towel-lined plate.
Whipped Butter
  1. While the fritters are cooking, whip the butter with a handheld mixer until light and fluffy. Gradually add the honey and hot sauce while mixing until smooth. Transfer this mixture to a serving bowl.
Serving
  1. Serve the fritters warm with dollops of the whipped hot honey butter and a sprinkle of salt.
