Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup fresh or frozen corn kernels
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1/2 cup grated cheddar cheese (or your favorite cheese)
- 2 large eggs
- 1/4 cup milk
- 2 tablespoons melted butter or vegetable oil
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
- Optional: chopped green onions or herbs for extra flavor
Instructions
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the flour, baking powder, salt, and pepper. In a separate bowl, whisk the eggs, milk, and melted butter until smooth. Gradually add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients, stirring gently to form a batter. Fold in the corn kernels and grated cheese, ensuring even distribution.
- Heat a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat and lightly grease with oil or butter. Spoon about 2-3 tablespoons of batter for each fritter onto the skillet, flattening them slightly with the back of the spoon for even cooking. Cook for 3-4 minutes on each side or until golden brown and crispy. Adjust heat as necessary to prevent burning.
- Once cooked, transfer the fritters to a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil. Serve hot with your favorite dipping sauces, such as spicy mayo or tangy sour cream. For an extra flavor boost, top with chopped green onions or fresh herbs.
Notes
- Use fresh or properly thawed frozen corn for best flavor.
- Make sure the oil is hot enough before adding batter to achieve the crispy exterior.
- Don’t overcrowd the pan to ensure even cooking and crispiness.
- For added flavor, consider mixing in diced jalapeños or cooked bacon.
