cooking oil

🥗Healthier: olive oil

💰Cheaper: vegetable oil

Olive oil is healthier but vegetable oil is cheaper.

Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat and add a little olive oil.

Add chopped scallions and fresh corn kernels to the skillet.

Sauté the corn and scallions for a few minutes until the corn develops color and the scallions soften.

Season the corn mixture with salt and pepper.

Add paprika and baking powder to the corn mixture and stir.

In a separate bowl, whisk together the egg, whole milk, and a few dashes of hot sauce.

Pour the egg mixture into the corn mixture and stir to combine everything well.

Heat vegetable oil in the skillet to around 365°F.

Drop dollops of the batter into the hot oil, being careful not to overcrowd the skillet.

Fry the fritters for a few minutes, flipping them halfway through until golden brown.

Serve the fritters with hot sauce, ketchup, or pure maple syrup.
