Sweet Corn Fritters
Ingredients
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 3 ears fresh corn, kernels cut from cob
  • 2 eggs, separated
  • 1/2 cup heavy whipping cream
  • salt and freshly ground pepper to taste
  • 1 quart vegetable oil for frying, or as needed
  • 2 tablespoons cane syrup, or as desired
Instructions
1
Combine the dry ingredients, including flour and baking powder, in a bowl and incorporate corn kernels. In a separate container, whisk together egg yolks and cream until well combined, then add this mixture to the corn mixture; season with salt and black pepper for added flavor.
2
Using an electric mixer, whip egg whites until they become light and airy, forming stiff peaks in a separate bowl. Gently merge the egg whites into the batter, taking care not to deflate it.
3
Heat a substantial amount of vegetable oil in a deep skillet to a depth of 3 inches and preheat it to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C).
4
Carefully drop small portions of the batter into the hot oil, 2 to 3 tablespoons at a time, and cook until they turn golden brown on both sides, taking approximately 2 to 3 minutes per side.
5
Once cooked, remove the fritters from the oil with a paper towel and serve them drizzled with cane syrup.
