Ingredients

Scale

Serves 4-6

  • For the fritters:
    • 1 cup (125 g) all-purpose flour
    • 1 teaspoon baking powder
    • 1/2 teaspoon salt
    • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
    • 1/4 teaspoon smoked paprika (optional)
    • 1 large egg
    • 1/2 cup (120 ml) milk
    • 1 cup (150 g) corn kernels (fresh, frozen, or canned, drained)
    • 1/4 cup (40 g) finely chopped green onions or chives
    • 1/4 cup (30 g) shredded cheddar cheese (optional)
  • For frying:
    • Vegetable oil, for frying
  • For serving:
    • Sour cream, salsa, or honey (optional)

Instructions

  1. Prepare the batter:
    • In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, salt, pepper, and smoked paprika.
    • In a separate bowl, beat the egg and milk together. Gradually pour the wet mixture into the dry ingredients, stirring until just combined.
    • Fold in the corn kernels, green onions, and cheddar cheese (if using).
  2. Heat the oil:
    • In a large skillet, heat about 1/4 inch (0.5 cm) of vegetable oil over medium heat until it shimmers. To test, drop a small bit of batter into the oil—if it sizzles, it’s ready.
  3. Fry the fritters:
    • Scoop 2-3 tablespoons of batter for each fritter and drop it carefully into the hot oil. Flatten slightly with the back of a spoon.
    • Fry for 2-3 minutes per side, or until golden brown and crisp. Adjust the heat as needed to prevent burning.
    • Transfer the fritters to a plate lined with paper towels to drain excess oil.
  4. Serve:
    • Serve warm with sour cream, salsa, honey, or your favorite dipping sauce.

Notes

  • For added flavor, mix in diced jalapeños, cooked bacon bits, or herbs like parsley or cilantro.
  • To make the fritters lighter, whisk the egg whites separately until stiff peaks form, then fold them into the batter.
  • Leftovers can be reheated in a 350°F (175°C) oven for 5-7 minutes to regain their crispiness.
