Corn & Scallion Fritters

Print Recipe Pin Recipe
Servings 10 fritters

Ingredients

  • 5 husks of corn (about 2-2.5 cups)
  • 3 scallions, chopped
  • 2 eggs
  • ½ cup flour (I used a gf blend)
  • ½ tsp salt
  • ¼ tsp garlic powder
  • ¼ tsp smoked paprika
Spicy aioli:
  • mayo + garlic powder + sriracha (optional)

Instructions

  • Shuck the husks of corn and carefully cut off the kernels into a large bowl. Tip: hold the corn, upside down, in the center of the bowl and cut right there. It will prevent 100 kernels from flying all over the place.
  • Add chopped scallions (both white and green parts), eggs, spices + flour. Stir well to combine. Throw into the fridge for 15-20 minutes if you have the time (will help the mixture to firm up), but truly not necessary.
  • Heat a skillet over medium heat and then add oil of choice to coat the pan well. I used avocado oil, but olive or coconut also works.
  • Wet your hands to prevent the dough from sticking to you, and then form patties by making a round shape and slightly pressing down. Once the pan is hot, place 4-5 in the pan at a time, so it’s not overcrowded. Cook about 3-4 minutes on each side, until golden.
  • I would normally form all of the patties at once onto a plate so they’re ready to go, but in this case I just formed them quickly one at a time before placing into the pan as the ‘dough’ is a little more delicate.
  • If you have a splatter guard, use it. I was dodging hot popping kernels left and right! If not, you’ll survive. Don’t use a pan cover, though, as they will steam instead of crisp.
  • Let rest on a plate with a paper towel to absorb some of the oil, and serve immediately. Mix some mayo, garlic powder + sriracha for the perfect complimentary sauce.
  • Store in an airtight container in the fridge for up to a week. Reheat in a pan to crisp up.
