Ingredients
  

  • Corn Kernels 1 ½ cups, fresh or canned: Adds natural sweetness and texture.
  • Use fresh or canned corn for convenience.
  • Cheddar Cheese 1 cup, shredded: Adds a rich, cheesy flavor to the fritters.
  • Substitute with Monterey Jack or mozzarella for a milder flavor.
  • All-Purpose Flour ¾ cup: Provides structure to the batter.
  • Use gluten-free flour for a gluten-free version.
  • Cornmeal ¼ cup: Enhances the corn flavor and adds texture.
  • Substitute with more flour if needed.
  • Eggs 2 large: Binds the ingredients together.
  • Beat the eggs lightly for a fluffier batter.
  • Milk ¼ cup: Loosens the batter, making it easier to fry.
  • Use any type of milk including plant-based options.
  • Green Onions ¼ cup, chopped: Adds a fresh, savory flavor.
  • Substitute with chives or red onion.
  • Baking Powder 1 teaspoon: Helps the fritters puff up and become fluffy.
  • Salt and Pepper to taste: Enhances the overall flavor of the fritters.
  • Vegetable Oil for frying: Use a neutral oil for frying the fritters until crispy

Instructions
 

  • Prepare the Batter: Mix the flour, cornmeal, baking powder, salt, and pepper. In another bowl, whisk the eggs and milk. Combine the wet and dry ingredients, then fold in the corn, cheese, and green onions.
  • Fry the Fritters: Heat oil in a skillet over medium heat. Drop spoonfuls of the batter into the hot oil and fry for 2-3 minutes per side, until golden and crispy.
  • Serve: Drain on paper towels and serve hot with your favorite dipping sauce.
