🍳 Method

1. Prep the Eggs
   • Separate the yolks and whites.
   • Beat yolks in a bowl.
   • Whip egg whites until soft peaks form (use electric mixer for ease).
2. Mix the Batter
   • In a large bowl, combine corn, flour, Cajun seasoning, salt, and beaten yolks.
   • Gently fold in whipped egg whites until just combined.
3. Fry the Fritters
   • Heat oil in a skillet over medium heat.
   • Drop large spoonfuls of batter into the pan.
   • Fry until golden brown on both sides (about 2–3 minutes per side).
   • Drain on paper towels.
4. Serve Warm
   • Pair with sour cream, honey mustard, or a cilantro-lime yogurt dip.
   • Garnish with chopped scallions or parsley for extra flair.
