Instructions
-
1. If using fresh corn, cut the kernels off the cob. In a mixing bowl, combine the corn kernels, flour, cornmeal, grated Parmesan cheese, chopped scallions or chives, beaten egg, milk, baking powder, paprika, salt, and pepper. Mix until well combined.
-
2. In a skillet, heat vegetable oil over medium-high heat.
-
3. Spoon portions of the batter into the hot oil, forming small fritters. Flatten them slightly with the back of the spoon.
-
4. Fry the fritters for 2-3 minutes on each side or until they turn golden brown and crispy. Ensure they're cooked through.
-
5. Remove the fritters from the oil and place them on a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil.
-
6. Serve the crispy corn fritters warm. Optionally, pair them with sour cream or salsa for dipping.
