Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 200 grams Corn kernels (fresh or frozen, thawed)
- 60 grams All-purpose flour
- 1 large Egg
- 60 ml Milk (low-fat)
- 2 stalks Green onions (finely chopped)
- 1 teaspoon Baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil (for frying)
- 2 tablespoons Light sour cream (optional, for serving)
- 1 tablespoon Fresh parsley (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
In a large mixing bowl, combine the corn kernels, chopped green onions, and parsley (if using).
In another bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, salt, and black pepper.
Beat the egg and milk together in a small bowl, then pour into the dry ingredients. Mix until just combined.
Add the wet mixture to the corn and green onions. Stir gently until everything is evenly incorporated. Be careful not to overmix.
Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a non-stick frying pan over medium heat.
Scoop 2 tablespoons of the batter for each fritter into the pan. Flatten slightly with the back of the spoon to form round patties.
Cook for about 2-3 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and cooked through. Repeat with the remaining batter, adding more olive oil to the pan as needed.
Transfer the cooked fritters to a plate lined with paper towels to absorb any excess oil.
Serve warm with a dollop of light sour cream on top and garnish with fresh parsley if desired.
