  • Salt and black pepper, to taste
  • 2 tablespoons balsamic drizzle
  • 1/3-1/2 cup extra virgin olive oil

Corn Fritters with Alex Guarnaschelli

Yields about 15-20 fritters

I could eat corn every day in one form or another. This is recent addition to my repertoire. A few notes: I like to make the batter and drop a little bit in the hot oil, fry and taste it to see if I want to add more salt, sugar or cayenne…Like a test run. Season the corn itself by tossing the kernels in a little salt and brown sugar so it has a lot of flavor itself…If using frozen or canned corn, drain of all excess liquid before seasoning and mixing into batter. If cooking fresh corn, cut the corn off the cob and cook in 1 tablespoon of butter in a sauté pan over medium heat for 2-3 minutes. Then cool and drain of any excess liquid.
