Ingredients

• Ingredients:
• 1 cup whole wheat flour
• 1/4 tsp baking powder
• 1/2 tsp sea salt
• 1/2 tsp ground cumin
• 1 egg white
• 1 tsp lemon juice
• 1/2 cup water
• 2 cups corn kernels, cut from 3 large cobs or frozen (thawed and drained)
• 4 green onions, finely diced
• 1/4 cup red onion, finely diced
• EVOO, grapeseed, canola or peanut oil
• 1/4 cup chopped cilantro (optional)

Preparation

Step 1

Stir together the flour, baking powder, salt and cumin in a medium bowl. Add egg white, lemon juice and water.  Stir mixture well until smooth. Add the corn, onions (red and green), cilantro and taco seasoning (if using).  Stir until just combined.
Heat a large frying pan on medium high heat.  Add enough oil to coat the bottom of the pan.  When the oil is hot, spoon about 2-3 tablespoons worth of batter into the pan to form one fritter.  Pat the fritter down with the back of the spoon as soon as it’s in the pan.
Work in batches to fry the fritters.  Make sure to leave space between each fritter in the pan. Let fritters cook about 2-3 minutes on each side.  Flip the fritters over once they are nicely browned.
Once each side is golden brown, remove the fritters from the pan and move to paper towels to absorb the excess oil.
The fritters will splatter a bit as they cook.  Use a splatter guard or wear long sleeves!
