Ingredients
  

For the Sweet Corn Fritters:

2 cups fresh sweet corn kernels (approximately 3-4 ears of corn, husked and kernels removed)

1 cup all-purpose flour

1/2 cup cornmeal

1/2 cup milk

2 large eggs, lightly beaten

1 teaspoon baking powder

1 teaspoon baking soda

1 teaspoon smoked paprika

1/2 teaspoon fine sea salt

1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper

1/4 cup green onions, finely chopped

1/4 cup fresh cilantro, chopped (optional for extra flavor)

Vegetable oil, for frying

For the Aioli:

1/2 cup mayonnaise

2 cloves garlic, minced

1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice

1 teaspoon Dijon mustard

Salt and pepper, to taste

1 tablespoon fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)

Instructions
 

Prepare the Fritters:

    - In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, cornmeal, baking powder, baking soda, smoked paprika, sea salt, and black pepper until well combined.

      - In a separate bowl, mix the milk and lightly beaten eggs until blended. Gradually pour this wet mixture into the dry ingredients, stirring gently until just combined; avoid over-mixing.

        - Carefully fold in the sweet corn kernels, chopped green onions, and cilantro (if using), ensuring an even distribution without mashing the corn.

          Make the Aioli:

            - In a small bowl, whisk together the mayonnaise, minced garlic, fresh lemon juice, and Dijon mustard until smooth. Season with salt and pepper to your liking. Cover and refrigerate for at least 15 minutes to allow the flavors to develop.

              Fry the Fritters:

                - In a skillet, heat about 1/4 inch of vegetable oil over medium heat. Once the oil is hot (test by dropping a small amount of batter; it should sizzle), carefully spoon dollops of the fritter batter (about 2 tablespoons each) into the pan. Flatten each fritter slightly with the back of a spoon to ensure uniform cooking.

                  - Fry the fritters for 3-4 minutes on each side, or until they are golden brown and crispy. Cook in batches to avoid overcrowding and adjust the heat as needed to maintain a steady frying temperature.

                    Drain and Serve:

                      - Once golden and cooked through, transfer the fritters to a plate lined with paper towels to absorb excess oil. Repeat the frying process with the remaining batter.

                        - Serve the fritters warm, accompanied by a generous dollop of the zesty aioli on the side. For a touch of color and flavor, garnish with chopped fresh parsley.
