Ingredients
  

2 cups fresh corn kernels (approximately from 4 medium ears of corn)

1/2 cup all-purpose flour

1/4 cup cornmeal

1/2 teaspoon baking powder

1/2 teaspoon baking soda

1 teaspoon salt

1/4 teaspoon black pepper

1/2 teaspoon smoked paprika

2 large eggs

1/4 cup buttermilk (alternatively, use milk mixed with a splash of vinegar)

1/4 cup finely chopped green onions

1/4 cup crumbled feta cheese (optional for added flavor)

1/2 cup diced red bell pepper

Oil for grilling (such as olive oil or vegetable oil)

Instructions
 

Prep the Corn: Begin by shucking the corn to expose the ears. Carefully cut the kernels off the cobs using a sharp knife, ensuring you remove them from the cob evenly to maximize your yield.

    Mix Dry Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, sift together the all-purpose flour, cornmeal, baking powder, baking soda, salt, black pepper, and smoked paprika. Use a whisk to combine these dry ingredients thoroughly, ensuring there are no lumps.

      Combine Wet Ingredients: In a separate bowl, crack the two eggs and beat them lightly. Add the buttermilk and whisk until smooth. Then, fold in the chopped green onions, diced red bell pepper, and crumbled feta cheese if you are using it. Mix until just combined, but do not overwork the mixture.

        Merge Ingredients: Gradually pour the wet mixture into the bowl with the dry ingredients. Use a spatula to gently fold the mixture together until just combined. Then, incorporate the corn kernels, being careful not to overmix—it's fine if there are a few lumps in the batter.

          Preheat the Grill: Preheat your grill to medium-high heat, aiming for about 375°F (190°C). Lightly brush the grill grates with oil to prevent the fritters from sticking.

            Shape the Fritters: Using a 1/4 cup measuring cup, scoop out the batter and gently form it into small patties about 1/2 inch thick. Arrange the shaped fritters on a plate as you continue working.

              Grill the Fritters: Carefully place the corn fritters on the preheated grill. Allow them to cook for approximately 3-4 minutes on each side, or until they're golden brown with attractive grill marks. Avoid pressing down on the fritters while grilling to maintain their fluffy texture.

                Serve: Once cooked, remove the fritters from the grill and let them rest on a paper towel for a moment to absorb any excess oil. Serve warm, accompanied by a side of sour cream, creamy avocado dip, or your favorite salsa for a delightful finish.

                    - Presentation Tips: Stack the fritters on a serving platter and garnish with freshly chopped herbs or a sprinkle of additional feta cheese for an enticing look. A wedge of lime or lemon on the side can add a refreshing zing when serving.
