Ingredients

  • 1 cup cornmeal
  • 1 cup fresh or frozen corn kernels
  • 1/2 cup shredded cheddar cheese
  • 1/4 cup chopped green onions
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1/2 cup milk
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper (optional)
  • Oil for frying (vegetable or canola)

How to Make Crispy Corn Fritters

  1. In a large mixing bowl, combine the cornmeal, salt, black pepper, and cayenne pepper (if using).
  2. Add the corn kernels, cheddar cheese, and green onions to the dry mixture, stirring until well combined.
  3. In a separate bowl, whisk together the eggs and milk until smooth.
  4. Pour the egg mixture into the cornmeal mixture, stirring gently until just combined. Avoid overmixing.
  5. Heat about 1/2 inch of oil in a large skillet over medium heat until hot (around 350°F).
  6. Using a tablespoon or small ice cream scoop, drop spoonfuls of the batter into the hot oil, making sure not to overcrowd the pan.
  7. Fry the fritters for about 3-4 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and crispy. Remove them from the oil and drain on paper towels.
  8. Serve warm with your favorite dipping sauce.

Tips for the Best Results

  • Make sure your oil is hot enough before frying to ensure crispy fritters.
  • For extra flavor, consider adding herbs like cilantro or parsley to the batter.
  • If the batter is too thick, add a splash more milk to reach the desired consistency.

Easy Variations

  • Add diced jalapeños for a spicy kick.
  • Swap out cheddar for feta or pepper jack cheese for a different flavor profile.
  • Incorporate grated zucchini or bell peppers for added texture and nutrition.

What to Serve With It

  • Creamy avocado dip or guacamole
  • Spicy sriracha mayo
  • Tangy yogurt sauce with dill
  • Classic ranch dressing

Storage and Reheating

Store any leftover fritters in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days. To reheat, place them in a preheated oven at 350°F for about 10 minutes to regain their crispiness.
