These golden-brown fritters combine sweet corn kernels with melted cheese and seasoned batter, delivering a delightful crunch and cheesy flavor with every bite.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup sweet corn kernels (fresh or frozen)
  • 1 cup shredded cheese (cheddar, Monterey Jack, or a blend)
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1/4 cup milk
  • 2 tablespoons chopped green onions (optional)
  • Oil for frying (vegetable, canola, or peanut oil)

Instructions

  1. In a large mixing bowl, combine the flour, baking powder, salt, and black pepper. In a separate bowl, whisk together the eggs and milk. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir until smooth. Fold in the sweet corn and green onions if using. Stir in the shredded cheese until evenly distributed.
  2. Pour enough oil into a large skillet or deep fryer to cover the bottom and heat over medium-high heat until hot. To test, drop a small spoonful of batter into the oil; it should sizzle immediately.
  3. Using a tablespoon or small scoop, drop spoonfuls of batter into the hot oil. Flatten each fritter slightly with a spatula. Cook for about 2-3 minutes per side or until golden brown and crispy. Remove from oil and drain on paper towels.
  4. Serve hot with sour cream, salsa, or your favorite dipping sauce. Enjoy immediately for maximum crispiness and cheesy goodness.

Notes

  • Use freshly grated cheese for better melting and flavor.
  • Ensure the oil is hot enough before adding the batter for crispiness.
  • Cook in batches to avoid overcrowding and maintain oil temperature.
  • Add spices like paprika or cayenne for a flavor boost.
  • For gluten-free, substitute all-purpose flour with rice flour or almond flour.
