Ingredients:

  • 1 cup (120g) all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 cup (60g) yellow cornmeal
  • 1 tsp (5g) baking powder
  • 1/2 tsp (3g) kosher salt
  • 1/4 tsp (1g) black pepper
  • 1/4 tsp (1g) garlic powder
  • 1 large (50g) egg, beaten
  • 1/2 cup (120ml) whole milk
  • 2 tbsp (30g) melted unsalted butter
  • 1 tbsp (15g) Greek yogurt
  • 2 cups (340g) fresh corn kernels
  • 2 stalks (20g) green onions, thinly sliced
  • 1/4 cup (10g) fresh parsley, chopped
  • 2-3 tbsp vegetable oil

Instructions:

  1. In a large bowl, combine the flour, cornmeal, baking powder, salt, pepper, and garlic powder. Stir until no clumps remain.
  2. In a small bowl, whisk the egg, milk, melted butter, and Greek yogurt until smooth.
  3. Pour the wet mixture into the dry. Stir gently with a spatula until just combined; do not overmix to ensure fritters stay tender.
  4. Fold in the corn kernels, sliced green onions, and parsley until the corn is evenly suspended in the batter.
  5. Add 2-3 tbsp of oil to a skillet over medium heat until a drop of batter sizzles immediately upon contact.
  6. Use a cookie scoop to drop mounds of batter into the pan and gently press the top of each fritter with a spatula to create a disc about 1/2 inch thick.
  7. Cook for 3-4 minutes until the edges turn deep golden brown and the bottom feels firm when tapped.
  8. Carefully flip each fritter and cook for another 2-3 minutes until both sides reach a rich, mahogany color.
  9. Transfer the fritters to a paper towel-lined plate to absorb any remaining surface oil.
  10. Immediately sprinkle with a pinch of flaky sea salt while hot to enhance the sweetness of the corn.
