Corn Latkes - cooking recipe

Ingredients
    3 cups frozen corn kernels (I've tried fresh as well and frozen works better)
    salt
    1 teaspoon sugar or 1 teaspoon Splenda sugar substitute
    3 large egg whites
    1/4 cup all-purpose flour
    4 teaspoons canola oil
Preparation
    Place two non-stick baking sheets in the oven and preheat to 450\u00b0F.
    Cook the corn in a medium saucepan with a cup of boiling water 'until tender, about 2 mintes. Drain the corn in a colander and let cool. Press the corn lightly to squeeze out excess water. No wringing.
    Puree 1 cup of the corn kernels in a food processor. Add salt to taste, sugar and egg whites and process until just mixed. Transfer the mixture to a bowl and stir in the flour, then the remaining corn kernels.
    Brush 2 teaspoons of oil on the now hot baking sheets. Spoon small mounds of the latke mixture on the sheets forming 2 to 2 1/2 inch pancakes. The sheet should sizzle a bit when the batter hits it. Leave one inch between each latke.
    Bake the latkes in the oven until golden brown, 6 to 8 minutes per side,turning once with a spatula. (When you turn the latkes, try to flip them onto spots on the baking sheet that still have oil.).
    Serving suggestions: If you are in a sweet mood serve latkes with sour cream and strawberiy or raspberry preserves. Savroy more your style, then try sour cream alone or with some chopped scallions.
