Preparation
Step 1
1 In a large bowl, stir together the corn kernels, flour, sugar, baking powder, 1/2 tsp salt and 1/4 tsp pepper
2. Stir in the eggs and heavy cream until the batter is well combined.
3. Line a plate with paper towels. Coat the bottom of a large saute' pan, with vegetable oil and place it over medium-high heat. Once the oil is hot, scoop 2-3 tablespoon mounds of the corn batter into the pan, spreading it lightly into a flat, circular shape. Cook the fritters for 2-3 minutes, then flip them once and cook them an additional 3 minutes until they are golden brown and cooked through. Transfer the fritters to the paper towel line plate, season them immediately with salt and repeat the cooking process with the remaining batter, adding more oil to the pan as needed.
4. Garnish the corn fritters with scallions and serve them sour cream or garlic aioli for dipping.
Fresh or frozen (thawed) corn kernels will work in this recipe. If you use frozen corn, drain off any excess liquid after it thaws.
