As easy to prepare (and to reheat) as they are delicious to eat, these cute little corn fritters sure are a different way to enjoy your corn this season!
Put half the corn kernels, egg, corn starch, flour or cornmeal, heavy cream, salt and cayenne in the bowl of your food processor. Process on high until a batter forms.
Remove the blade and stir in the rest of the corn kernels as well as the green onions.
Heat a tablespoon of oil in a skillet set over medium heat, then drop the batter into the hot pan by heaping tablespoons (I like to use my trusty spring-loaded cookie scoop) about 4 to 6 at a time depending on the size of your skillet. Fry until a lightly golden crust forms, about 45 seconds to 1 minute, then flip very delicately and fry the other side for about the same time, until golden.
Transfer the cooked fritters to a plate and repeat with the remaining batter. Add a little bit more oil to the pan with each new batch, or as necessary.
Serve without delay, garnished with a dollop of yogurt or sour cream, sliced green onions, fresh corn kernels and a dash of cayenne.
