Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1.5 cups sweet corn kernels
- 2 pieces jalapeno peppers, finely chopped
- 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- 0.75 cup all-purpose flour
- 0.25 cup cornmeal
- 1 large egg
- 0.25 cup milk
- 2 stalks green onions, finely chopped
- 0.5 teaspoons garlic powder
- 0.5 teaspoons salt
- 0.25 teaspoons black pepper
- 0.5 cup vegetable oil (for frying)
Instructions
In a large mixing bowl, combine the sweet corn kernels, finely chopped jalapeno peppers, shredded cheddar cheese, and green onions. Stir to mix thoroughly.
Add in the all-purpose flour, cornmeal, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper. Toss the dry ingredients with the corn mixture until evenly coated.
In a small bowl, whisk together the egg and milk. Pour this mixture into the large bowl with the corn mixture and use a spoon to combine everything into a thick batter.
Heat the vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium heat. You will need enough oil to create a shallow layer for frying.
Scoop 2 tablespoons of the batter and gently form it into a small patty with your hands. Place the patty into the hot skillet. Repeat until the skillet is filled, leaving enough space between patties for flipping.
Cook the patties for 3-4 minutes on each side until they are golden brown and crispy. Use a spatula to carefully flip them.
Remove the cooked patties from the skillet and place them on a plate lined with paper towels to drain any excess oil.
Repeat the process with the remaining batter, adding more oil to the skillet if necessary.
Serve warm with sour cream, salsa, or your favorite dipping sauce.
