Cooking Instructions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Batter

    In a large mixing bowl, combine the fresh corn kernels, all-purpose flour, cornmeal, baking powder, salt, and black pepper. Mix well until evenly combined.

  2. 2

    Mix Wet Ingredients

    In a separate bowl, whisk together the eggs and milk until well blended. Add the chopped green onions and stir to combine.

  3. 3

    Combine Mixtures

    Pour the wet mixture into the dry ingredients and stir until just combined. Do not overmix; the batter should be slightly lumpy.

  4. 4

    Heat Oil

    In a large skillet, heat the vegetable oil over medium-high heat. The oil should be hot enough that a small drop of batter sizzles when added.

  5. 5

    Fry the Fritters

    Using a ladle, drop spoonfuls of batter into the hot oil, making sure to leave enough space between each fritter. Fry for about 3-4 minutes on each side or until golden brown.

  6. 6

    Drain and Serve

    Once cooked, transfer the fritters to a plate lined with paper towels to drain excess oil. Serve warm with your choice of dipping sauce.
