2 large ears of corn, kernels cut off and ear discarded (about 2 cups)
¾ cup whole milk
2½ tablespoons unsalted butter
1½ cups bread flour
3 large eggs
⅔ cup cornmeal
1 tablespoon corn flour
1 tablespoon granulated sugar
1 tablespoon kosher salt
1 medium scallion, finely chopped
1½ tablespoons finely chopped parsley
3 cups vegetable oil
Confectioners' sugar
Directions
In a medium saucepan set over medium-high heat, bring the corn kernels, whole milk and butter to a boil.
Whisk in the bread flour and, mixing constantly, add the eggs one at a time. Whisk in the cornmeal, corn flour, sugar and salt, then stir in the scallion and parsley.
In a large saucepan set over medium-high heat, bring the oil to 360°. Use a tablespoon to measure out 1 tablespoon of the hush-puppies mixture; fry in batches, about 10 tablespoons at a time, until golden brown, 8 to 10 minutes. Use a frying spider or slotted spoon to transfer to a paper-towel-lined rack. Dust with confectioners' sugar and serve immediately.
