Instructions
In a large mixing bowl, stir together the corn, all-purpose flour, optional sugar (if using), baking powder, cayenne pepper, salt, and ground black pepper until everything is well combined.
Add the beaten eggs and heavy cream and stir until thoroughly incorporated.
Add enough canola or vegetable oil to cover the bottom of a large skillet and place it over medium-high heat.
Use an ice cream scoop to scoop 4-5 scoops of the corn fritter batter into the hot frying oil.
Let the fritters fry for 2-3 minutes before flipping them over and frying for an additional 2-3 minutes. They should be golden brown with crisp edges when done.
Remove the cooked fritters from the pan and transfer them to a paper towel-lined plate. Serve immediately while warm.
Notes
Add the optional sugar if you like your fritters to be a little sweeter, or you can leave it out for some more savory corn fritters!
If you used canned corn, make sure it is thoroughly drained. If you used frozen corn, make sure you give it time to thaw out completely!
You can add in some grated Parmesan cheese for some extra flavor!
To store: Keep leftover corn fritters in a sealed container in the fridge for a few days.
To reheat: Reheat your corn fritters in the oven so that they remain crispy!
