Instructions
- In a large bowl, combine 2 cups of yellow corn, onion, eggs, cilantro, salt, garlic powder and black pepper. Blend using an immersion blender (or regular stand blender) until the mixture is mostly smooth.
- Add in remaining yellow corn, yellow corn meal, baking powder and jalapenos. Stir until fully combined.
- Heat 1 tablespoon olive oil in large frying pan over medium-high heat. Using an ice cream scoop, drop scoops of the mixture into the pan and pan fry until golden brown, about 3 minutes per side. (If you don't have an ice cream scoop, measure out about 3 heaping tablespoons per corn cake.)
- Season corn fritters with more salt and pepper, if necessary, and serve with crème fraîche or sour cream, freshly diced jalapenos and cilantro.
