Method

Fritters Preparation

  1. 1

    Prepare the Batter

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

  2. 2

    Add Wet Ingredients

    In a separate bowl, whisk together the eggs and milk. Pour the wet mixture into the dry ingredients and stir until just combined. Fold in the chopped green onions.

Cooking Fritters

  1. 3

    Heat the Oil

    In a large skillet, heat the vegetable oil over medium heat until it shimmers.

  2. 4

    Fry the Fritters

    Drop spoonfuls of the batter into the hot oil, making sure not to overcrowd the pan. Fry for about 3-4 minutes on each side or until they are golden brown. Remove and place on a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil.

Lime Aioli Preparation

  1. 5

    Mix the Aioli

    In a small bowl, whisk together the mayonnaise, lime juice, minced garlic, salt, and pepper to taste until smooth and creamy.

Serving

  1. 6

    Serve the Fritters

    Plate the fritters warm, drizzle with lime aioli, and sprinkle with crumbled cotija cheese, Tajín seasoning, and chopped cilantro.
