Instructions:
- In a bowl, mix together the beaten egg, flour, and salt. For some extra spice, add a pinch of cayenne pepper.
- Stir in the heavy cream and sliced scallions.
- Cut the corn kernels off the cob and roughly grind them. Add them to the mixture.
- Heat the vegetable oil in a skillet over medium-high heat.
- Drop spoonfuls of the corn mixture into the hot oil.
- Fry until golden brown, flipping to cook both sides evenly (about 2-3 minutes per side).
- Remove the fritters from the oil and drain on paper towels.
- Serve warm and enjoy!
Pro Tips for Perfect Corn Fritters:
- Fresh Corn is Best: Use fresh corn for the sweetest flavor, but canned or frozen corn (thawed and drained) can also work in a pinch.
- Don’t Overmix: Stir the batter just until combined. Overmixing can make the fritters dense.
- Control the Oil Temperature: Fry at medium-high heat. Too hot, and they’ll burn before cooking through; too low, and they’ll absorb too much oil.
- Drain Excess Oil: Use paper towels to blot the fritters after frying to keep them crisp and not greasy.
- Spice it Up: Add more cayenne or a dash of chili powder if you like a bit of heat.
