CORN FRITTERS

Steps:

• Dry ingredients: Whisk the flour, sugar, salt, and baking powder together in a large mixing bowl. Add the corn and stir to coat in the flour mixture.
• Batter: Mix the cream and eggs together, then pour into the mixing bowl. Stir everything together until a wet batter forms. It should be a thick batter. See recipe notes.
• Fry: Add enough vegetable oil to fully coat the bottom of your skillet. You'll have to do this in batches. Drop 2-4 quarter cup portions of batter, as many as your skillet can handle, and cook for 2-3 minutes over medium heat or until the bottom turns golden brown. Flip and cook for another 2-3 minutes. Adjust the heat as necessary. Repeat with remaining batter.

CORN FRITTERS

Steps:

• Mash the corn kernels in a large bowl using a potato masher or a mojito muddler until most corn kernels are broken and some juice comes out. You can also pulse the corn in a food processor for a few seconds just to break them - be careful not to over-process and turn them into creamed corn.
• Add the rest of the ingredients (jalapeno through salt) and mix well. I just used the same mojito muddler for mixing everything together - no need to get a whisk or another utensil dirty!
• Heat 1-2 tablespoons of olive oil in a pan. Use a heaping tablespoon or a melon baller to add the corn batter to the pan. Cook for about 3 minutes over medium heat, or until golden brown. Carefully flip and cook for another 3 minutes, or until the corn fritters are golden brown and cooked through.Serve with some fresh cilantro and a squeeze of lime juice.
