Fresh Corn Patties

INGREDIENTS

1 large egg, separated
1 cup corn cut from cob and drained (about 2 ears)
1/4 cup flour
1/2 tsp sea salt
1/4 tsp baking powder
dash black pepper
2 Tbsp extra virgin olive oil
powdered sugar (optional)
sour cream and chopped fresh dill or chili powder (optional)

DIRECTIONS

In a small bowl, beat egg white until stiff; set aside.

In a medium bowl, beat egg yolk. Add corn, flour, salt, baking powder, and pepper. Stir until blended (mixture will be thick). Fold in egg white.

In a non-stick skillet over medium heat, heat olive oil. Drop corn mixture into skillet by heaping tablespoonfuls, forming patties. Cook until lightly browned, about 2 minutes on each side, turning once. Drain on paper towels; keep warm.

Serve immediately with a sprinkle of powdered sugar or a mixture of sour cream and dill or chili powder to taste.
