Ingredients
- 1 cup fresh corn kernels (about 2 ears)
- 1/4 cup chopped green onions
- 4 Tablespoons vegetable oil, divided
- 2 large eggs, separated
- 1/4 cup flour
- 1/2 cup yellow cornmeal
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
Preparation
Step 1
1. In a blender or food processor, pulse corn and green onions until chopped but not smooth. Transfer to a large bowl and stir in 2 Tablespoons oil and egg yolks.
2. In another bowl, combine flour, cornmeal, salt, and pepper. Add to corn mixture and mix thoroughly but gently.
3. In a large clean bowl, whisk or beat egg whites until soft peaks form. Fold into corn mixture.
4. In a large frying pan, heat 1 tablespoon oil over medium-high heat. Working in batches, drop large spoonfuls of the corn mixture into pan(do not spread or flatten). Cook until edges begin to set and undersides are browned, about 2 minutes. Flip and cook until cakes are browned and cooked through. Cook remaining batter the same way, adding oil as necessary. Serve hot.
