Directions

  • Beat egg whites in a glass or metal bowl until stiff peaks form. Lift your beater or whisk straight up: the egg whites will form sharp peaks.

  • Mix corn, egg yolks, flour, salt, and red pepper together in a large bowl; fold beaten egg whites into the corn mixture.

  • Heat oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Working in batches, drop corn mixture into hot oil by the tablespoonful in several spots without crowding the pan; cook until browned and set, 2 to 3 minutes per side. Repeat with remaining batter.

Cook's Notes:

Use a high-quality oil for frying to get the best results.

You have to be careful mixing this one. The flour and egg yolks would really love to make an unusable lump of dough in the bowl with the corn, salt, pepper and cayenne. Fortunately, I used frozen corn and the little bit of moisture from that was enough to turn the dough lump into a smooth paste. The stiff whipped egg whites folded in nicely and the fritter had a really nice loft. I used to work in an old Chinese take-out restaurant, and the smell of these frying reminded my strongly of egg foo-yung. The flavor was pretty good, and the fritters developed a nice, thin crust. Not crunchy, but there was texture. I wish I had some scallions to slice and add to the fritter batter. I did add about 2 tablespoons of fresh, chopped dill weed, and a 1/2 teaspoon of garlic powder (too lazy to mince 2 cloves). Overall, we liked this recipe. Read More

Family loved it- I added the fresh dill as someone suggested and thought it was a nice addition. The egg whites gave it a nice light texture. Will definitely make again! Read More

I like the taste. I added 1 tablespoon of dill and 1/2 teaspoon of garlic powder. However, I feel like this needs a bit of flour or needs to cook longer. It was more like corn and eggs rather than a fritter and it was something I ate with a spoon. Needs some work. Read More

Maybe there should be more flour in the recipe... I ended up with what tasted like eight tiny corn omelets. Read More
