QUICK AND EASY CORN FRITTERS

Steps:

• In a large bowl, stir together the corn kernels, flour, sugar, baking powder, 1/2 teaspoon salt and 1/4 teaspoon pepper.
• Stir in the eggs and heavy cream until the batter is well-combined.
• Line a plate with paper towels. Coat the bottom of a large sauté pan with vegetable oil and place it over medium-high heat. Once the oil is hot, scoop 2- to 3-tablespoon mounds of the corn batter into the pan, spreading it lightly into a flat, circular shape. Cook the fritters for 2 to 3 minutes, then flip them once and cook them an additional 3 minutes until they're golden brown and cooked through. Transfer the fritters to the paper towel-lined plate, season them immediately with salt and repeat the cooking process with the remaining batter, adding more oil to the pan as needed.
• Garnish the corn fritters with scallions and serve them with sour cream or garlic aioli for dipping.

LOBSTER CORN FRITTERS

Steps:

• Melt 2 tablespoons of the butter in a medium (10-inch) saute pan over medium heat. Add the scallions and corn and saute for 3 minutes, or until softened. Add the lobster and cook for 1 minute. Set aside.
• Combine the flour, baking powder, paprika, Old Bay seasoning, and 1 teaspoon salt in a large mixing bowl. Make a well in the center and whisk in the eggs and half-and-half, stirring until the mixture is smooth, like a thick pancake batter. Stir in the corn and lobster mixture. (The batter may be made up to an hour ahead and refrigerated.)
• For the sauce, place the garlic, saffron, sriracha, lemon juice, mayonnaise, 1/2 teaspoon salt, and 1/4 teaspoon pepper in the bowl of a food processor fitted with the steel blade and puree until smooth.
• To make the fritters, heat 2 to 3 tablespoons of the butter in a large (12-inch) saute pan over medium to medium-high heat. For each fritter, drop 2 rounded tablespoons of the batter into the hot butter and cook for 2 to 3 minutes on each side, until golden brown and firm to the touch. Don't crowd the skillet or they won't brown evenly. Repeat until all the batter is used, adding butter as necessary. Serve the fritters hot with a dollop of sauce on the side.

CORN FRITTERS

Steps:

• Whisk 3/4 cup flour, 1 teaspoon kosher salt and 1/4 teaspoon each baking powder and pepper in a bowl. Whisk 1/2 cup milk and 2 eggs in another bowl; stir in the flour mixture. Add 2 cups corn, 1/4 cup each chopped cilantro and scallions, 1 chopped jalapeno and the zest and juice of 1/2 lime. Cook 1/4 cupfuls in a skillet with olive oil, 2 minutes per side. Serve with Greek yogurt.

SWEETCORN FRITTERS

Steps:

• Mix the flour, baking powder, paprika and milk together in a large bowl. Mix in the egg, followed by the sweetcorn, chopped spring onions, chives, parsley, 1 tsp salt and some freshly ground black pepper.
• Heat a 1cm depth of oil in a frying pan over a medium heat until a small amount of the fritter mixture sizzles when dropped in. For larger fritters, drop 2 heaped tablespoons of the mixture into the pan at a time in a clockwise direction (this will help you remember the order they were added to the pan, so you can flip them at the right stage). For smaller fritters, do the same, but with 1 heaped tablespoon of mixture at a time.
• After 2 mins, flip the fritters over in the same order they were added to the pan. Cook for another 2 mins, continuing to turn every now and then to ensure both sides are evenly golden brown. When ready, the fritters should be darker brown with crispy pieces of corn at the edges - be careful, as some of the kernels may burst during the cooking process. Remove to a wire rack and pat away any excess oil using kitchen paper. Serve straightaway with a few strips of spring onion scattered over, if you like.
