Sweet Corn Fritters with Sriracha-Lime GreekYogurt
"I live for sweet corn season. I come from a family that has proudly proclaimed themselves “corn snobs.” (Really, my mother feels the need to declare this to anyone and everyone, especially if she’s presented with a particularly offensive big-kernelled ear.) Consequently, I spent most of my life eating unadulterated corn on the cob with butter, salt, and pepper. But these fritters have recently become a favorite of mine; they have a great texture and flavor from the corn and are made extra delicious by the cilantro, scallions, and a little bit of cheddar cheese.
