Corn Fritters - cooking recipe

Ingredients
    1 1/2 lbs fresh corn, husks and silks removed (2 large or 3-4 medium ears)
    1 egg, beaten lightly
    3 tablespoons all-purpose flour
    3 tablespoons cornmeal
    2 tablespoons heavy cream
    1 small shallot, minced
    1/2 teaspoon salt
    1 pinch cayenne pepper
    1/2 cup vegetable oil (or more as needed)
Preparation
    Cut kernels from 1 to 2 ears of corn and place in bowl. This should yield approximately 1 cup of whole corn kernels.
    Grate kernels from remaining 1 to 2 ears on large holes of box grater (yielding 1/2 cup + of grated kernels). Place in bowl with whole corn kernels.
    Using the back of a knife, scrape any pulp remaining on all cobs into bowl.
    Stir in beaten egg, flour, cornmeal, cream, shallot, salt and cayenne.
    Heat oil in large heavy bottomed non-stick skillet (I used my cast iron) over medium-high heat until shimmering. Drop 6 heaping tablespoons batter in pan. Fry until golden brown or about 1 minute per side.
    Transfer fritters to plate lined with paper towels. Serve immediately.
    Note - Batter can be prepared ahead, cover & refrigerate up to 4 hours.
