Ingredients
  

Main ingredients

  • 2 tablespoons unsalted butter to melt into a garlicky goodness
  • 2 cloves garlic minced, that tiny punch you don't wanna skip
  • 1 cup corn kernels fresh or frozen, whatever you got handy
  • 2 tablespoons chopped cilantro for that green fresh vibe
  • 1 green onion green part only, chopped fine to mix in subtle zing
  • ½ teaspoon kosher salt plus ¼ teaspoon black pepper for seasoning balance
  • ¼ teaspoon ground cumin and a pinch cayenne to back the heat with earthy warmth
  • 1 large egg beaten to pull everything together smooth-like

Instructions
 

Instructions

  • First, you melt the butter in a big bowl and toss in minced garlic. Stir it till that scent hits your nose.
  • Add the corn, cilantro, green onion, salt, pepper, cumin, and cayenne. Mix it kinda gentle but thorough, you want every bite seasoned.
  • Beat that egg in a separate bowl then pour right in there. Stir everything to get the batter just right.
  • Heat a skillet over medium heat and add a splash of your high smoke point oil.
  • Spoon the batter into little fritters on the skillet. Cook ‘em about 3 to 4 minutes each side till golden and crispy.
  • Pull ‘em out and lay ‘em on paper towels so they drain good before you serve ‘em with a splash of Poblano buttermilk dressing. Dang, that dressing rocks.

Notes

Serve immediately for best crispiness. If you prefer a richer flavor, consider using bacon grease in place of oil during frying.
