Ingredients
  

For the Corn Fritters:

2 cups fresh or frozen sweet corn kernels

1 cup all-purpose flour

2 large eggs

1/2 cup milk

2 green onions, finely chopped

1 teaspoon baking powder

1/2 teaspoon smoked paprika

1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper (optional, for a spicy twist)

Salt and pepper to taste

1/4 cup fresh parsley, chopped

Oil (for frying)

For the Garlic Aioli:

1/2 cup mayonnaise

2 cloves garlic, minced

1 tablespoon lemon juice

1 teaspoon Dijon mustard

Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions
 

Prepare the Garlic Aioli:

    In a small bowl, combine the mayonnaise, minced garlic, lemon juice, Dijon mustard, and a pinch of salt and pepper. Stir thoroughly until the mixture is smooth and creamy. Taste and adjust the seasoning if needed. Set aside to let the flavors develop.

      Create the Fritter Batter:

        In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, smoked paprika, cayenne pepper (if using), and a generous pinch of salt and pepper. In a separate bowl, beat the eggs and stir in the milk. Gradually add the wet ingredients to the dry mixture, stirring gently until just combined—be careful not to overmix.

          Incorporate the Veggies:

            Gently fold the sweet corn kernels, finely chopped green onions, and fresh parsley into the batter, ensuring they are evenly distributed throughout.

              Heat the Oil:

                In a large skillet or frying pan, pour enough oil to cover the bottom and heat it over medium heat until it reaches approximately 350°F (175°C). You can check the temperature by dropping in a small spoonful of the batter; it should sizzle immediately.

                  Fry the Fritters:

                    Using a spoon, drop tablespoons of the batter into the hot oil, lightly flattening them with the back of the spoon. Fry the fritters in batches to avoid overcrowding the pan. Cook each fritter for about 3-4 minutes on each side or until they achieve a delightful golden brown color and a crispy texture. Once cooked, remove the fritters and let them drain on paper towels.

                      Serve and Enjoy:

                        Arrange the warm fritters on a serving platter alongside the garlic aioli for dipping. For a touch of color, consider garnishing with extra chopped parsley on top.

                            - Presentation Tips: Serve the fritters with a small bowl of garlic aioli in the center of the platter. You can also add a few lemon wedges to enhance the freshness and for a pop of color. Enjoy!
