For an extra layer of flavor, add a tablespoon of chopped fresh herbs such as chives or cilantro to the batter. To ensure even cooking, maintain a consistent medium-high heat and avoid overcrowding the skillet. These fritters are best served immediately while they are still warm and crispy. Feel free to adjust the amount of cayenne pepper to your preference for spice. For a creamier fritter, try adding a tablespoon of cream cheese to the batter!

Follow The Directions
01
Step
7 mins
In a clean, dry glass or metal bowl, beat the egg whites using an electric mixer until stiff peaks form. Ensure no yolk contaminates the whites for optimal volume. (5-7 minutes)
02
Step
2 mins
In a large bowl, gently combine the fresh corn kernels, beaten egg yolks, sifted flour, salt, and cayenne pepper. Mix until just combined, being careful not to overmix the batter. (2 minutes)
03
Step
3 mins
Delicately fold the whipped egg whites into the corn mixture in two additions, being careful not to deflate the whites. This will keep the fritters light and airy. (3 minutes)
04
Step
5 mins
Heat the vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat until shimmering. Test the oil's readiness by dropping a tiny amount of batter into the skillet; it should sizzle immediately. (5 minutes)

Step
7 mins
Carefully drop tablespoonfuls of the batter into the hot oil, ensuring not to overcrowd the skillet. Cook the fritters until golden brown and set, approximately 2 to 3 minutes per side. (6-8 minutes)

Remove the cooked fritters from the skillet and place them on a wire rack lined with paper towels to drain any excess oil. (2 minutes)
