Ingredients

• ½ teaspoon salt
• ¼ cup sifted all-purpose flour
• 3 egg whites
• 3 egg yolks, beaten
• 6 tablespoons vegetable oil
• 1 dash ground red pepper
• 1 ⅔ cups fresh corn kernels

Recipe Instructions

Step 1

Beat egg whites in a glass or metal bowl until stiff peaks form. Lift your beater or whisk straight up: the egg whites will form sharp peaks.

Step 2

Mix corn, egg yolks, flour, salt, and red pepper together in a large bowl; fold beaten egg whites into the corn mixture.

Step 3

Heat oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Working in batches, drop corn mixture into hot oil by the tablespoonful in several spots without crowding the pan; cook until browned and set, 2 to 3 minutes per side. Repeat with remaining batter.
