Sweet Corn Fritters

Sweet Corn Fritters are a delightful and healthy American appetizer that combine the sweetness of fresh corn with a hint of spices. These crispy bites are perfect for sharing and can be enjoyed with a tangy dipping sauce.

• Fresh corn kernels - 1 cup
• Whole wheat flour - 1/2 cup
• Egg - 1 large
• Milk - 1/4 cup
• Green onions - 2 tablespoons, finely chopped

3. Add the egg mixture to the dry ingredients and stir until just combined.
