Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup (150g) fresh or frozen sweet corn kernels
  • 1/2 cup (60g) all-purpose flour
  • 1/4 cup (30g) cornmeal
  • 1 large egg, room temperature
  • 1/4 cup (60ml) whole milk or buttermilk
  • 2 tablespoons (30g) unsalted butter, melted
  • 1 small green chili, finely chopped (optional)
  • 2 green onions, thinly sliced
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
  • For the Honey Butter:
  • 1/4 cup (56g) unsalted butter, softened
  • 2 tablespoons (30ml) local honey
  • A pinch of flaky sea salt

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Honey Butter: In a small bowl, combine the softened butter, honey, and a pinch of flaky sea salt. Mix well until smooth and creamy. Cover and refrigerate until ready to serve.
  2. Mix Dry Ingredients: In a medium bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, cornmeal, baking powder, salt, and black pepper.
  3. Combine Wet Ingredients: In a separate large bowl, beat the egg lightly. Add the milk and melted butter, mixing until just combined.
  4. Add Corn and Flavorings: Stir the sweet corn kernels, chopped green chili (if using), and green onions into the wet mixture.
  5. Combine Wet and Dry Mixtures: Gradually fold the dry ingredients into the wet mixture, stirring gently until just combined. Avoid overmixing.
  6. Heat the Pan: Warm your skillet over medium heat and add a tablespoon of oil or butter. The surface should be hot enough that a drop of batter sizzles immediately.
  7. Cook the Fritters: Using a tablespoon or small ice cream scoop, drop batter onto the hot pan, flattening slightly with the back of the spoon. Cook for 3-4 minutes per side or until golden brown and crispy. Flip carefully.
  8. Drain and Serve: Transfer cooked fritters to a paper towel-lined plate to remove excess oil. Serve warm with a dollop of honey butter melting on top.

Notes

If batter is too thick, add a splash more milk. Keep oil hot but not smoking to avoid greasy fritters. Drain fritters on paper towels after frying. Use a thin spatula to flip gently. Honey butter is essential for flavor. For gluten-free, substitute almond flour and dairy-free milk. For vegan, replace egg with flax egg and honey butter with vegan butter and maple syrup.
