Ingredients

6 servings

•

1 cup all-purpose flour
•

1 teaspoon baking powder
•

3 ears fresh corn, kernels cut from cob
•

2 eggs, separated

•

0.5 cup heavy whipping cream
•

salt and freshly ground pepper to taste
•

1 quart vegetable oil for frying, or as needed
•

2 tablespoons cane syrup, or as desired

Instructions

Whisk flour and baking powder into a bowl and mix in corn kernels. Whisk egg yolks with cream in a small bowl and stir into the corn mixture; season with salt and black pepper. Beat egg whites with an electric mixer until fluffy and stiff peaks form in a separate bowl. Gently fold egg whites into the batter, retaining as much volume as possible.
Pour vegetable oil into a deep heavy skillet to a depth of 3 inches. Heat to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C).
Drop fritters into the hot oil, 2 to 3 tablespoons at a time, and cook until golden brown, 2 to 3 minutes per side. Drain fritters on paper towels and serve drizzled with cane syrup.
