Steps:
- Preheat oven to 120°C / 250°F and set a wire rack on a baking tray.
- Place flour, cornflour and baking soda in a bowl, mix to combine.
- Add egg and milk, mix until incorporated (batter will be lumpy and thick).
- Add corn, parmesan, green onions and coriander. Mix until all the corn is evenly coated in batter.
- Add enough oil into the skillet so it just covers the base. Heat over medium high heat.
- Spray the underside of a spatula with oil (so batter won't stick when you flatten).
- Place 1/4 cup batter into skillet (ice cream scooper with lever is handy), then flatten to 1cm thick. Repeat with 2 or 3 more, but don't crowd the skillet.
- Cook 3 minutes until deep golden and crisp, then flip and cook the other side for 2 - 3 minutes.
- Transfer to rack and keep warm in oven. Repeat with remaining fritters, using more oil as necessary.
- Serve with sauce of choice for dunking!

Steps:
- Place eggs in a large mixing bowl, and beat until frothy. Gradually beat in the flour and salt to make a soft dough. Roll out the dough to be fairly thin, about 1/8 inch, and cut into 2 inch by 5 inch strips. Cut a slit down the center of each strip, and twist so one end slides through the slit and makes a loop.
- Heat 1 1/2 inches of oil in a deep skillet (or use a deep-fat fryer) over medium-high heat, 375 degrees F (190 degrees C).
- Cook dough in small batches in preheated oil until golden brown. Drain on paper towels. Serve warm or at room temperature.

- Heat 4 inches oil in a large heavy-bottomed pot or Dutch oven over high heat until a deep-fry thermometer reaches 375 degrees. Working in batches, using a small ice cream scoop or two spoons, drop batter by the tablespoon into the oil. Cook, turning occasionally, until cooked through and deep-golden brown, 1 to 2 minutes; adjust heat as needed to keep oil temperature between 350 and 360 degrees.

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.
Tips:
- For best results, use fresh corn kernels. If using frozen corn, thaw it completely before using.
- Do not overmix the batter, as this will result in tough fritters.
- To ensure that the fritters are cooked through, fry them over medium heat until they are golden brown on both sides.
- Serve the fritters hot with your favorite dipping sauce, such as ketchup, honey butter, or maple syrup.
- For a sweeter fritter, add 1/4 cup of sugar to the batter.
- For a spicier fritter, add 1/2 teaspoon of chili powder or cayenne pepper to the batter.
- For a cheesy fritter, add 1/2 cup of shredded cheddar cheese to the batter.
- For a veggie-packed fritter, add 1/2 cup of chopped bell pepper, onion, or zucchini to the batter.
