Ingredients

Scale

Main Ingredients

  • 1 cup fresh or frozen corn kernels
  • 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
  • 2 large eggs
  • 3/4 cup shredded cheddar cheese
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
  • 2 tablespoons vegetable oil, for frying

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Batter: In a medium bowl, whisk together the eggs and flour until smooth. Fold in the corn kernels, shredded cheese, salt, and pepper to combine all the ingredients evenly.
  2. Heat the Oil: Heat the vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium heat until hot but not smoking. This will ensure the fritters cook evenly and develop a crispy crust.
  3. Cook the Fritters: Drop spoonfuls of the batter into the hot oil, flattening them slightly with the back of the spoon. Fry each fritter for about 2-3 minutes on each side or until they are golden brown and cooked through.
  4. Drain and Serve: Remove the fritters from the oil using a slotted spoon and place them on paper towels to drain excess oil. Serve warm as a delicious snack or side dish.

Notes

  • For extra flavor, add chopped fresh herbs like chives or parsley to the batter.
  • If using frozen corn, make sure to thaw and drain it well before adding to the batter.
  • You can substitute cheddar cheese with mozzarella or feta for a different taste.
  • Serve with a dollop of sour cream or a spicy dipping sauce for added enjoyment.
