Ingredients
Scale
Corn Fritters:
- 1 1/2 cups corn kernels (fresh, canned, or frozen and thawed)
- 1/2 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 1/3 cup all-purpose flour
- 1/4 cup cornmeal
- 2 large eggs
- 2 tablespoons milk
- 1/4 cup chopped green onions
- 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/4 teaspoon paprika
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/8 teaspoon black pepper
- vegetable oil for frying
Instructions
- Prepare the Batter: In a large bowl, whisk together eggs and milk. Add corn, cheeses, green onions, flour, cornmeal, baking powder, garlic powder, paprika, salt, and pepper. Mix until a thick batter forms.
- Fry the Fritters: Heat oil in a skillet over medium heat. Spoon 2 tablespoons of batter for each fritter into the hot oil, flattening slightly. Cook for 2-3 minutes per side until golden and crispy.
- Drain and Serve: Transfer the cooked fritters to a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil. Serve hot with your favorite dipping sauce.
Notes
- For extra crispiness, allow the batter to rest before frying.
- Customize by using pepper jack cheese or adding jalapeños for a spicy kick.
- Fritters can be reheated in an air fryer or oven.
