Method
For the Corn Beignets
Prepare the Batter
In a large mixing bowl, combine corn kernels, flour, cornmeal, baking powder, salt, and sugar. Mix well.
Add Wet Ingredients
In another bowl, whisk together the eggs and milk. Add the wet mixture to the dry ingredients and stir until just combined. Fold in the chopped green onions.
Heat the Oil
In a deep pot or fryer, heat the vegetable oil to 350°F (175°C).
Fry the Beignets
Using a spoon or small ice cream scoop, drop spoonfuls of the batter into the hot oil. Fry until golden brown, about 3-4 minutes, turning halfway through. Remove and drain on paper towels.
