INGREDIENTS
- 3 cups corn kernels
- 1 cup Swany White flour
- 1 Tablespoon sugar
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 2 large eggs, lightly beaten
- 3/4 cup heavy cream
- Vegetable oil, for frying

1.) In a large bowl, stir together the corn kernels, flour, sugar, baking powder, 1/2 teaspoon salt and 1/4 teaspoon pepper.
2.) Stir in the eggs and heavy cream until the batter is well-combined.
3.) Prepare a plate with paper towels for cooked fritters.
4.) Coat the bottom of a large sauté pan with vegetable oil and place it over medium-high heat.
5.) Once the oil is to temperature, scoop 2- to 3-tablespoon mounds of fritter batter into the pan, spreading it lightly into a flat, almost pancake like shape.
