Ingredients
  

For the Fritters
  • 3 cups fresh corn kernels (about 4 ears; or 2 cans corn, drained) Use fresh corn if possible for the best flavor.
  • 1 unit green onion, thinly sliced
  • 2 units eggs
  • 3/4 cup milk Can be substituted with a plant-based alternative.
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour Can substitute with gluten-free flour.
  • 1 cup cornmeal
  • 1 1/2 tablespoons sugar
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 1/2 teaspoons kosher salt (1 1/4 teaspoons for canned corn)
  • Olive oil or neutral oil, for frying
  • Flaky sea salt, for garnish (or more kosher salt)
  • Parsley, for garnish
  • Sour cream or garlic aioli, for serving

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Use a sharp knife to cut the corn kernels from the cobs (or drain the canned corn). Thinly slice the green onion.
  2. In a medium bowl, whisk together the eggs and milk until well combined. Gradually add in the flour, cornmeal, sugar, baking powder, garlic powder, and kosher salt, mixing until a thick batter forms.
  3. Gently fold in the corn kernels and sliced green onion using a spatula.
Cooking
  1. In a large non-stick skillet, heat enough oil to cover the bottom over medium heat.
  2. Drop the batter into the skillet using a 1/4 cup measure, then spread each fritter gently to create a thin pancake shape.
  3. Fry the fritters for about 2 to 3 minutes per side until they turn golden brown.
Cooling and Serving
  1. Remove the fritters and place them on a baking rack to cool slightly. This helps them stay crisp instead of becoming soggy.
  2. Sprinkle with a bit of flaky sea salt and garnish with parsley.
  3. Serve immediately with sour cream, garlic aioli, or any preferred dipping sauce.
