Yum! Definitely use fresh corn kernels, not frozen. For some variation add any or all of: chopped fresh chives, chopped fresh dill, or chopped crisp bacon.

Really like this recipe. I served these for dinner with a green salad. The only change I made to the recipe was roasting the corn on the cob to get a bit of char going. I think next time I would pump the batter up with black pepper, chili powder, or even crushed chili flake. It needs a little heat, in my opinion. They’re great plain, but I put some spicy aioli on them and they are A+!

I’m planning on making these in a couple days. I’m thinking of doing them in a waffle iron. Thoughts?

I'm not sure how this batter would hold up in a waffle iron, but if you give it a go, please report back!

These were very nice. I wish they were a little bit crisper, but that's probably on me.
I tossed in a couple of chopped scallions and a bit of black pepper, which added just the right amount of zip.

These were delicious! I was worried because my starter was a little runny, but the fritters cooked up and held together fine. We ate them with sliced tomatoes, though they were tasty enough on their own. The sourdough starter gave them a really nice flavor - definitely a recipe that is more than the sum of its parts.

I'm going to guess these work well with sourdough discard, also...perhaps you won't get a bit of puffy rise since the starter/discard isn't active, but would still be mighty tasty. And since discard is what those of us keeping starters have a lot of, that makes it a recipe worth looking into!

The King Arthur recipe for crumpets with sourdough discard adds 1 T of baking powder ... perhaps that would be a good addition if using discard?

I tried it with discard and the batter seemed thin, so I ended up adding a couple of Tbsps of cornmeal and I like the outcome...might've worked without but I didn't feel like risking it. They had a little bit of a bouncy texture. Seems like they would be fluffier with the addition of baking powder
