corn fritters

Directions

1. 1. Trim off the tips of the corn cobs. Standing a cob in a wide bowl, slice off the kernels with a sharp knife. Repeat.
2. 2. To the corn, add the milk, egg, sugar, baking powder, salt and cayenne. Combine with a large whisk. Mix in cornmeal and flour. Let rest for at least 10 minutes.
3. 3. Heat oven to 200 degrees. Line a rimmed baking sheet with paper towels or brown paper bags, and put it in the oven. In a large nonstick skillet, heat 2 tablespoons oil over medium heat. Working in batches, drop batter into the pan by heaping tablespoons. Fry until golden brown, about 3 minutes on each side. Transfer to the prepared baking sheet and sprinkle with salt. The fritters can be kept warm in the oven up to 30 minutes. Serve with maple syrup.
