Ingredients

3 corn cobs, kernels shaved (about 3 cups)

1/2 tsp baking powder

1/4 cup all-purpose flour

2 tbsp yellow cornmeal

1/2 tsp salt, divided

1/4 tsp freshly cracked black pepper

1/8 tsp cayenne pepper

1 tbsp cornstarch

1 large egg

2 tbsp heavy cream

1/2 cup crumbled feta cheese

3 green onions, sliced

1/2 cup cooking oil

Instructions

  1. Shuck corn and shave kernels from the cobs.
  2. In a large bowl, whisk together baking powder, flour, cornmeal, 1/4 tsp salt, pepper, cayenne, and cornstarch.
  3. Stir in egg and heavy cream until a paste forms.
  4. Fold in corn kernels, feta, and green onions until well combined.
  5. Heat oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat.
  6. Portion batter with a 1-ounce scoop, flatten slightly, and place in the pan.
  7. Fry for about 3 minutes per side until golden and crisp.
  8. Transfer fritters to a paper towel-lined sheet to drain. Sprinkle with remaining salt before serving.

Notes

  • For added color and sweetness, add diced red bell pepper.
  • For smoky flavor, replace feta with smoked gouda.
  • To increase heat, add diced jalapeños or extra cayenne.
  • Use frozen corn when fresh isn’t available—thaw and dry well.
  • For gluten-free fritters, substitute all-purpose flour with a 1:1 gluten-free blend.
