Steps:
- In a small bowl, beat egg whites until stiff but not glossy; set aside.
- In a medium bowl, lightly beat egg yolks. Add corn, red pepper, scallions, salt, black pepper and flour; thoroughly combine and then fold in egg whites.
- Coat skillet with cooking spray and warm over high heat; when skillet is hot, reduce heat to medium. Spoon a heaping tablespoon of batter onto skillet to make each fritter. (Do not press fritters down with your spatula since they are meant to be fluffy.) Cook for about 2 to 3 minutes; carefully flip and cook until lightly browned and cooked through, about 2 to 3 minutes more. Remove cooked fritters to a serving plate and cover to keep warm. Repeat until all batter is used and then serve immediately. Yields about 4 fritters per serving.

SWEETCORN FRITTERS (CAN BE WEIGHT WATCHERS)
I love this recipe for its versatility. I can make it Weight Watchers friendly by reducing the oil. I can vary the amount of chilli to give it more or less heat. And it can be served with a range of sauces/ dips to add extra flavour! Despite the long list of steps, it comes together surprisingly quickly. If you make these the healthy way using less oil, make the fritters smaller so they cook quickly without browning too much before the middle is cooked through.

Steps:
- Heat 1 tablespoon of the oil in a non-stick pan, add the onion and cook, stirring, for 5 minutes, until beginning to soften. Add the chilli and garlic and cook for a further minute. Remove from the heat and set aside.
- Put the sweetcorn in a mixing bowl and lightly mash with a potato masher to break down the kernels a little.
- Add the onion mixture, spring onions and egg to the mixing bowl.
- Season to taste with salt and pepper and stir to mix.
- Sift in the flour and baking powder and stir to mix. The mixture is quite runny at this stage but don't worry- it firms up nicely when cooked!
- Heat 1 tablespoon of the oil in the non-stick pan.
- Drop four heaped spoonfuls of the sweetcorn mixture in once the oil is hot. Flatten them using a spatula until roughly 1cm/ 1/2inch thick- do this gently so the mixture does not stick to the spatula and break up the fritter.
- Fry the fritters for 3-4 minutes, or until golden and crisp on the underside. Flip them using the spatula and fry the other side for 3-4 minutes until done.
- Remove the fritters from the pan and keep warm.
- Wipe the pan with kitchen paper and repeat from step 6 to cook the remaining fritters.
- Serve drizzled with sweet chilli sauce or your favourite sauce/ dip. You could also garnish with chopped fresh coriander leaves.

WEIGHT WATCHERS CORN FRITTERS
Another WW site recipe that turned out great. Needing to use up some of my corn harvest and found this. Very good and 0 free style points, if you don't want to use fresh corn I'm sure frozen would do; just make sure it's defrosted and drained. For a little extra zing I did add about 2 teaspoons of chopped jalapeno to mine

Tips:
- For a crispy exterior and fluffy interior, make sure the batter is thick enough to coat the corn kernels. If the batter is too thin, the fritters will be more like pancakes. - To prevent the fritters from becoming greasy, use a non-stick skillet and cook them over medium heat. - If you don't have a non-stick skillet, you can grease the pan with cooking spray or butter. - Serve the fritters immediately with your favorite dipping sauce. Some popular options include ketchup, ranch dressing, and honey mustard. - For a healthier version of the fritters, use whole wheat flour instead of all-purpose flour and reduce the amount of oil used. - You can also add other ingredients to the fritters, such as chopped vegetables, cheese, or herbs. - If you have leftover fritters, they can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. - Reheat the fritters in a preheated oven at 350 degrees Fahrenheit for about 10 minutes, or until they are warmed through.Conclusion:
Sweet corn fritters are a delicious and versatile dish that can be enjoyed for breakfast, lunch, or dinner. They are easy to make and can be customized to your liking. So next time you have some fresh corn on hand, be sure to give this recipe a try!
