Ingredients
  

2 cups fresh corn kernels (approx. 3-4 ears of corn)

1 ripe avocado, diced

1/2 cup all-purpose flour

1/4 cup cornmeal

1 large egg

1/4 cup milk (dairy or non-dairy)

2 green onions, finely chopped

1/4 cup fresh cilantro, chopped (optional)

1 teaspoon baking powder

1/2 teaspoon garlic powder

1/2 teaspoon paprika

Salt and pepper to taste

2 tablespoons olive oil (for frying)

Lime wedges (for serving)

Instructions
 

Prep the Corn:

    Begin by cutting the kernels off the cob if using fresh corn; you should have about 2 cups. For frozen corn, ensure it is well-thawed and drained before measuring.

      Mix Dry Ingredients:

        In a large mixing bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, cornmeal, baking powder, garlic powder, paprika, and a pinch of salt and pepper. Whisk the dry mixture until it is well combined and free from lumps.

          Combine Wet Ingredients:

            In another bowl, beat the large egg and then mix in the milk. Add the diced avocado and chopped green onions, along with cilantro if desired. Stir the mixture gently until the avocado is slightly mashed yet still retains some chunky pieces.

              Combine Mixtures:

                Pour the wet ingredients into the bowl with the dry ingredients. Gently fold the mixture together until just combined, being careful not to overmix; it’s fine to have some lumps. Finally, fold in the corn kernels gently until evenly distributed.

                  Heat the Pan:

                    Place a large skillet over medium heat and add the olive oil. Allow the oil to heat up—if your skillet is large, you may need to add a little more oil for frying.

                      Fry the Fritters:

                        Once the oil is hot, use a tablespoon to drop spoonfuls of the fritter mixture into the pan, about 2 tablespoons per fritter. Leave space between each fritter and gently flatten them slightly with the back of the spoon to ensure even cooking.

                          Cook Until Golden:

                            Fry the fritters for approximately 3-4 minutes on each side until they turn golden brown and crispy. Be mindful of crowding the skillet; you may need to work in batches to ensure each fritter cooks evenly.

                              Drain and Serve:

                                Once fried, transfer the fritters to a plate lined with paper towels to absorb excess oil. Serve them warm, accompanied by lime wedges for an extra zesty kick.
