QUICK AND EASY CORN FRITTERS

Steps:

• In a large bowl, stir together the corn kernels, flour, sugar, baking powder, 1/2 teaspoon salt and 1/4 teaspoon pepper.
• Stir in the eggs and heavy cream until the batter is well-combined.
• Line a plate with paper towels. Coat the bottom of a large sauté pan with vegetable oil and place it over medium-high heat. Once the oil is hot, scoop 2- to 3-tablespoon mounds of the corn batter into the pan, spreading it lightly into a flat, circular shape. Cook the fritters for 2 to 3 minutes, then flip them once and cook them an additional 3 minutes until they're golden brown and cooked through. Transfer the fritters to the paper towel-lined plate, season them immediately with salt and repeat the cooking process with the remaining batter, adding more oil to the pan as needed.
• Garnish the corn fritters with scallions and serve them with sour cream or garlic aioli for dipping.

CORN FRITTERS

Steps:

• Dry ingredients: Whisk the flour, sugar, salt, and baking powder together in a large mixing bowl. Add the corn and stir to coat in the flour mixture.
• Batter: Mix the cream and eggs together, then pour into the mixing bowl. Stir everything together until a wet batter forms. It should be a thick batter. See recipe notes.
• Fry: Add enough vegetable oil to fully coat the bottom of your skillet. You'll have to do this in batches. Drop 2-4 quarter cup portions of batter, as many as your skillet can handle, and cook for 2-3 minutes over medium heat or until the bottom turns golden brown. Flip and cook for another 2-3 minutes. Adjust the heat as necessary. Repeat with remaining batter.
• Serve: Serve sprinkled with chives and a dollop with sour cream.

SAVORY CORN FRITTERS

Steps:

• In a large bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, salt, garlic powder, black pepper and ground cayenne. Whisk in the flour and baking powder until just combined. Stir in the corn, scallions and Cheddar.
• Heat a cast-iron skillet over medium-low and add enough oil to generously coat the bottom of the skillet.
• Once the oil is shimmering hot, add a heaping tablespoon of the batter to the skillet. Use the back of the spoon to flatten it into a round patty. Repeat to fry 3 to 4 fritters at once. Fry on each side until golden, about 2 minutes, then cook for an additional 2 minutes. Add more oil as needed.
• Remove from the skillet and transfer to a paper towel-lined baking sheet. Repeat until all fritters are fried. Serve warm or at room temperature.
