4 INGREDIENT CORN CAKES

Steps:

• In a large bowl, mix the corn kernels with the egg until the kernels are coated
• Using a sieve, slowly add in the flour and the baking powder to the corn mixture, and gently combine
• Add salt and pepper to taste
• Heat some cooking oil of choice (I used avocado oil) in a large saucepan over medium heat. Once oil is hot, add a tablespoon of the mixture at a time. Cook for about 3 minutes on one side, or until it's browned, flip, and cook another 3 minutes, or until it's browned. Remove and repeat for all the other corn fritters (I can usually fit about 4-5 into each batch).
• Serve immediately.

VEGAN CORN FRITTERS

Steps:

• Prepare a paper towel-lined plate or tray and set aside.
• To a large bowl, add the flour, cornmeal, garlic, baking powder, salt and pepper. Whisk to combine well.
• Add the milk and whisk until combined. The batter should be thick, but if looks dry, add a few teaspoons of milk or oil to moisten.
• Add the corn, bell pepper and green onions. Fold with a spatula to combine.
• Heat up a Large Non-Stick Skillet over medium heat for 1-2 minutes. When hot, drizzle oil on the bottom of the pan to coat.
• Using a Large Cookie Scoop (or 1/4 measuring cup filled 3/4 the way), scoop about 3 tablespoons of batter out and into the pan (you should hear the batter sizzle). Gently press down the mound to flatten. Repeat in a clockwise pattern until you run out of room. Don't crowd the pan or they won't crisp well.
• Cook fritters for 2-4 minutes or until golden brown. Using a spatula, check under the first fritter you placed to see if it's ready, then flip and repeat on the other side. Check the rest in the same clockwise direction and flip when ready. The other side will likely cook faster so keep an eye on them. If the pan is smoking, turn down the heat.
• Place fritters on paper towel-lined plate to absorb excess oil. Repeat method until all batter is gone. Serve with dip and enjoy!

CORN CAKES

Steps:

• For the avocado salsa: Mix the red onion, avocado, lime zest and juice and tomato in a small bowl. Season with salt and pepper; set aside.
• For the corn cakes: Whisk together the Cotija, flour, cumin, paprika and egg in a medium bowl until incorporated. Add the corn, garlic, scallions and lime zest. Fold together until incorporated. Set aside.
• Heat 1/2 inch of oil in a large, heavy-bottomed skillet over medium heat to around 350 degrees F.
• In batches, add 2-tablespoon scoops of the batter and fry until golden and crisp, 2 to 2 1/2 minutes per side. Remove to a paper towel-lined plate, sprinkle with sea salt and drizzle over some of the lime juice.
• Serve the corn cakes hot, topped with the avocado salsa.

VEGGIE CAKES

Steps:

• Grate zucchini, sprinkle with 1 tsp salt and set in a fine mesh strainer. Place a bowl or plate on top of the zucchini and weigh it down. I stacked 3 cans on diced tomatoes on top and that did the trick.
• Let it sit for AT LEAST 30 minutes, up to 1 hour. After it has drained, wrap it in a clean kitchen towel or a piece of cheesecloth and SQUEEZE! Even more water will come out, we want it as dry as possible!
• Set the drained zucchini aside.
• In a large bowl, mix flour, baking powder, pepper, granulated garlic or Cajun seasoning, if using, breadcrumb and cheese together. Add all the vegetables and toss to combine, making sure to break up the zucchini and coat everything with flour mixture.
• Crack eggs into a small bowl, give a little whisk and pour over veggie mixture. Mix to THOROUGHLY combine.
• Heat a sauté pan (skillet) over medium-high heat, add a drizzle of oil (a teaspoon or two) and swirl to coat the bottom of the pan.
• Using a scoop (or a large spoon), drop mixture into the hot pan and flatten out with your fingers to form a patty.
• Cook for 4 - 5 minutes on each side, turning down the heat if they begin to brown too quickly.
• Remove from pan to a cooling rack set inside of a sheet pan, or a paper towel lined baking sheet.
• Repeat until mixture is gone!

VEGGIE CORN CAKES

Steps:

• In a large bowl, combine the first five ingredients. Combine the egg, milk, corn, onion, peppers and hot pepper sauce; stir into dry ingredients until well blended. Heat a large nonstick griddle or skillet coated with cooking spray; drop batter by 1/4 cupfuls onto griddle. Fry until golden brown, about 3 minutes on each side. Serve with salsa and sour cream. NOTE: We used sugar and not sugar substitute. Also, did not use green pepper and added extra milk to make thinner.
