Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups sweet corn kernels (fresh, frozen, or canned)
- 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 0.25 cup cornmeal
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 2 pieces large eggs
- 0.5 cup whole milk
- 0.25 cup green onions, finely chopped
- 0.5 teaspoon garlic powder
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
- 0.5 cup vegetable oil (for frying)
Instructions
In a large mixing bowl, combine the flour, cornmeal, baking powder, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the eggs and milk until well combined.
Add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients, mixing until a thick batter forms.
Fold in the sweet corn kernels, shredded cheddar cheese, and chopped green onions until evenly distributed in the batter.
Heat the vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium heat. The oil should be about 1/4 inch deep; adjust the amount of oil if necessary.
Once the oil is hot, drop 2-tablespoon portions of the batter into the skillet, flattening slightly with the back of a spoon. Be careful not to overcrowd the pan.
Cook the fritters for about 2-3 minutes on each side, or until they are golden brown and crispy. Adjust the heat as needed to avoid burning.
Remove the fritters from the skillet and transfer them to a plate lined with paper towels to drain any excess oil.
Repeat the frying process with the remaining batter, adding more oil to the skillet if necessary.
Serve the fritters warm with your favorite dipping sauce or a dollop of sour cream.
