Steps:
- Fritter:.
- Place corn in a chopper and pulse 10 to 12 times. Remember to scrape down the sides midway with silcon spatula. You should be able to pinch together between fingers.
- Mix in a bowl with other ingredients for fritter except oil.
- Dipping sauce:
- In a small bowl mix the sauce ingredients and dissolve the sugar. Taste and add more sugar and/or water to decrease heat of sauce.
- Set aside.
- Preparing:.
- Use a wok or heavy skillet. Pour oil in to one inch depth. Heat the oil to 350F on a deep fry thermometer. Test if needed by dropping in a bit of batter. It should immediately cause bubbling and float to the top in 5 seconds.
- When ready drop by tsp of batter into oil. They will sink, be surrounded by bubbles and rise to the top within seconds. You may put as many as you like in without crowding the surface once they float. They should become golden brown. Turn once. Use paper towels to blot gently and let drain on towels. If they deflate? You pulled them too soon. Add more time. You want them to hold the shape and be slightly crispy. Watch your temp it needs to stay at 350F.
- Serve with sauce.
- NOTES
- Use fresh sweet corn if possible. If it is not in season use frozen.
- Note for those interested in removing egg, it won't work with powdered subs. The egg is to hold it together. Untried with tofu as sub for egg. Use at own risk.

SAVORY CORN FRITTERS
These corn fritters use fresh, whole kernels, mixed with spices, scallions and a simple batter. Corn fritters come in many types, from the cornmeal-based, deep-fried hush puppies, to the more patty-shaped, pan-fried fritters. Pan-seared in hot oil until crisp, these patty-like fritters contain Cheddar, which adds creaminess while still allowing the crunchy corn kernels to provide a pop of sweet flavor and texture with each bite. Fritters make an excellent side for a cookout, as they stand up to smoky barbecue flavors and can be enjoyed warm or at room temperature. Leftovers make an excellent breakfast, with a dollop of sour cream or plain yogurt on top.

Steps:
- In a large bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, salt, garlic powder, black pepper and ground cayenne. Whisk in the flour and baking powder until just combined. Stir in the corn, scallions and Cheddar.
- Heat a cast-iron skillet over medium-low and add enough oil to generously coat the bottom of the skillet.
- Once the oil is shimmering hot, add a heaping tablespoon of the batter to the skillet. Use the back of the spoon to flatten it into a round patty. Repeat to fry 3 to 4 fritters at once. Fry on each side until golden, about 2 minutes, then cook for an additional 2 minutes. Add more oil as needed.
- Remove from the skillet and transfer to a paper towel-lined baking sheet. Repeat until all fritters are fried. Serve warm or at room temperature.
