Ingredients

Main Ingredients

2 cups corn kernels fresh or thawed from frozen
1 cup flour sifted
1/2 cup milk
2 large eggs beaten
1 teaspoon baking powder
1 teaspoon chili powder
1/2 teaspoon cumin
1 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon black pepper
1/4 cup chopped cilantro
2 tablespoons vegetable oil

Avocado Crema

1 ripe avocado pitted and peeled
1/4 cup sour cream
1 tablespoon lime juice freshly squeezed
1/4 teaspoon salt

Instructions

1 In a large bowl, combine the corn kernels, flour, milk, and beaten eggs. Mix until well combined.
2 Add the baking powder, chili powder, cumin, salt, pepper, and cilantro to the corn mixture. Stir until the batter is evenly mixed.
3 Heat the vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium heat.
4 Scoop 1/4 cup of the batter into the skillet, flattening slightly with the back of a spoon. Cook for 2-3 minutes on each side or until golden brown and cooked through.
5 Transfer the cooked fritters to a paper towel-lined plate to drain any excess oil.
6 While the fritters are cooking, prepare the avocado crema by combining the avocado, sour cream, lime juice, and salt in a food processor. Blend until smooth.
7 Serve the fritters warm with a generous dollop of avocado crema on the side.
