INGREDIENTS:
3 cups corn kernels fresh, thawed from frozen, or canned
1 cup all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon granulated sugar
1 teaspoon baking powder
1 teaspoon kosher salt
1/4 teaspoon pepper
2 eggs
1/2 cup whole milk
1/3 cup green onions thinly sliced
1/2 cup shredded cheddar cheese
vegetable oil for frying
toppings such as sour cream, sliced green onions, and crumbled bacon optional
INSTRUCTIONS:
Place the corn kernels, flour, sugar, baking powder, salt, and pepper in a large bowl. Stir to combine.
Add the eggs and milk. Stir until a thick batter forms. Add the green onions and cheddar cheese and gently stir to combine.
Heat 1/2 inch of oil in a deep pan over medium-high heat. Place 2 tablespoon-size mounds of the fritter mixture in the pan, then flatten them.
Cook the fritters for 3 minutes per side, or until they’re golden brown and crispy. Repeat the process with any remaining batter.
Add toppings if desired, then serve immediately.
