Ingredients
- 1 cup corn kernels (fresh or frozen)
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 2 large eggs
- 1/2 cup shredded sharp cheddar cheese
- 1/4 cup milk
- 2 green onions, finely chopped
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
- 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
- Vegetable oil for frying
How to Make Savory Corn Fritters
- In a large bowl, combine the corn kernels, flour, baking powder, salt, and black pepper. Mix well.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together the eggs and milk until fully combined.
- Pour the egg mixture into the dry ingredients and stir until just combined. Avoid overmixing.
- Add the shredded cheddar cheese and chopped green onions to the batter, gently folding them in.
- Heat a large skillet over medium heat and add enough vegetable oil to cover the bottom of the pan.
- Once the oil is hot, scoop about 1/4 cup of batter for each fritter and carefully place it in the skillet. Flatten slightly with the back of a spatula.
- Cook for 3-4 minutes on one side, or until golden brown, then flip and cook for another 2-3 minutes on the other side.
- Remove the fritters from the skillet and place them on a paper towel-lined plate to absorb excess oil.
- Repeat with the remaining batter, adding more oil as needed.
- Serve warm and enjoy!
Tips for the Best Results
- For extra crunch, consider adding a tablespoon of cornmeal to the batter.
- Ensure the oil is hot enough before adding the fritters; this helps them crisp up nicely.
- Don’t overcrowd the pan; fry in batches if necessary to maintain the temperature.
Easy Variations
- Add diced bell peppers or jalapeños for a spicy kick.
- Substitute feta cheese for cheddar for a tangy twist.
- Incorporate herbs like cilantro or parsley for added freshness.
What to Serve With It
- A dollop of sour cream or Greek yogurt for creaminess.
- Fresh avocado slices for a buttery texture.
- Salsa or hot sauce for a zesty kick.
- Spinach or mixed greens for a light side salad.
