Ingredients
 

  • 3 ears sweet corn , (or about ¾ cup per ear) or use 2.5 cups canned or frozen ear corn
  • 1 carrot, (very small diced)
  • 3 eggs
  • 2 tablespoon minced shallots
  • 1 tablespoon minced garlic
  • ¾ cup all-purpose flour
  • 1 tablespoon chopped green onion
  • teaspoon salt
  • 1 teaspoon pepper
  • 2-3 cups oil,  (fill at least ¼-inch deep in a large frying pan)

Instructions
 

  • Cut the corn off the cob.

  • Heat the oil in a large deep skillet at high heat. Once hot, reduce the heat into medium heat.
  • Drop fritter batter by spoonfuls into the hot oil. Flatten them lightly with the back of the spoon, try to make them roughly the same size. Continue frying, and don’t forget to flip them as to cook them to a nice brown on both sides. Depending on the thickness, you may need to cook the fritters about 2-4 minutes on each side.
