Ingredients
- 1 cup fresh or frozen corn kernels
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 2 large eggs
- 1/2 cup shredded cheese (cheddar or your choice)
- 1/4 cup chopped green onions
- 1 teaspoon baking powder

How to Make Savory Corn Fritters
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the flour, baking powder, salt, and pepper.
- Add the eggs and milk to the dry ingredients, whisking until well combined.
- Fold in the corn kernels, shredded cheese, and chopped green onions until everything is evenly distributed.
- Heat a large skillet over medium heat and add enough oil to coat the bottom.
- Once the oil is hot, spoon about 1/4 cup of the batter for each fritter into the skillet. Flatten slightly with the back of the spoon.
- Cook for about 3-4 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and crispy. Adjust the heat as necessary to avoid burning.
- Transfer the cooked fritters to a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil.
- Repeat with the remaining batter, adding more oil to the skillet as needed.
- Serve warm and enjoy!
Tips for the Best Results
- Ensure the oil is hot enough before adding the batter; this will help achieve a crispy texture.
- Don’t overcrowd the skillet; fry in batches for even cooking.
- Experiment with different cheeses for varied flavors, such as feta or pepper jack.
- If using frozen corn, thaw and drain it well to avoid excess moisture in the batter.
Easy Variations
- Add diced bell peppers or jalapeños for a spicy kick.
- Mix in herbs like cilantro or parsley for a fresh taste.
- Swap half of the flour for cornmeal for a different texture.
- Serve with a dollop of sour cream or a zesty dipping sauce.
What to Serve With It
- A side of avocado slices or guacamole for creaminess
- A fresh garden salad for a light contrast
- Crispy bacon or sausage links for a hearty brunch
- A drizzle of hot sauce for those who love a kick
Storage and Reheating
Store any leftover fritters in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. To reheat, place them in a skillet over medium heat for a few minutes on each side until warmed through and crispy again. You can also reheat them in the oven at 350°F for about 10 minutes.
