Golden Corn Fritters with a Crispy Crunch

1.Start by removing the kernels from the 2 ears of corn using a sharp knife. Place the kernels in a mixing bowl.

2.In a separate bowl, combine 1 cup of corn flour, 1/2 teaspoon of baking powder, 1/2 teaspoon of salt, 1/4 teaspoon of black pepper, and 1/4 teaspoon of paprika. Mix well to combine the dry ingredients.

3.Add the dry mixture to the bowl with the corn kernels. Stir to combine.

4.In another bowl, whisk together 1/4 cup of milk and 1 large egg until well blended. Pour this mixture into the corn and flour mixture, stirring until just combined.

5.Fold in 1/4 cup of chopped green onions to add flavor and freshness to the fritter batter.

6.Heat oil in a large skillet over medium heat. You want enough oil to cover the bottom of the skillet generously.

7.Once the oil is hot, drop spoonfuls of the corn batter into the skillet, flattening them slightly with the back of the spoon to form fritters.

8.Cook the fritters for about 3-4 minutes on each side, or until they are golden brown and crispy. Make sure not to overcrowd the skillet; cook in batches if necessary.

9.Once cooked, transfer the fritters to a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil. Repeat with the remaining batter.

10.Serve the golden corn fritters warm, optionally with a dipping sauce of your choice.
