Ingredients

• 2 cups sweet corn kernels
• 1 cup all-purpose flour
• 2 eggs
• 1 cup milk
• 1 teaspoon baking powder
• 1 bunch green onions
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 1 teaspoon black pepper
• 1 cup vegetable oil
• 1 cup sour cream
• 2 tablespoons fresh lime juice
• 2 tablespoons cilantro

Instructions

1. 1

   In a large bowl, combine the sweet corn kernels, all-purpose flour, baking powder, salt, and black pepper. Mix well.

2. 2

   In a separate bowl, whisk together the eggs and milk until fully combined.

3. 3

   Chop the green onions finely and add them to the corn mixture.

4. 4

   Pour the egg and milk mixture into the dry ingredients and stir until just combined. Do not overmix; the batter should be slightly lumpy.

5. 5

   Heat the vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium heat (about 350°F).

6. 6

   Using a 1/4 cup measuring cup, drop the batter into the hot oil, leaving space between each fritter. Fry for about 3-4 minutes on each side, or until golden brown.

7. 7

   Remove the fritters from the skillet and place them on a plate lined with paper towels to drain excess oil.

8. 8

   In a small bowl, mix together the sour cream, fresh lime juice, and chopped cilantro to create the dipping sauce.

9. 9

   Serve the corn fritters warm with the dipping sauce on the side.
