Intro

Sweet corn kernels are blended into a crispy fritter base and enhanced with Aleppo pepper for a subtly spicy twist. Paired with a tangy scallion yogurt sauce, these fritters balance crunch, sweetness, and kick—ideal for parties or a playful starter.

Ingredients

2 cups fresh or thawed corn kernels
½ cup flour
2 eggs, beaten
2 scallions, finely sliced
1 teaspoon Aleppo pepper
Salt and pepper to taste
Olive oil for frying

Sauce:

½ cup Greek yogurt
1 tablespoon chopped scallion
1 teaspoon lemon juice
Salt to taste

Instructions

1.Make the Fritter Batter
In a mixing bowl, combine corn, flour, eggs, scallion, Aleppo pepper, salt, and pepper. Stir until a thick batter forms.

2.Cook the Fritters
Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Drop the batter by 2-tablespoon scoops into the pan, flattening each slightly. Cook for 2–3 minutes per side, or until golden and crisp.

3.Prepare the Sauce
In a small bowl, whisk together all sauce ingredients until smooth and creamy.

4.Serve
Serve the hot fritters immediately with the sauce on the side for dipping or drizzling.
