minutesIngredients
1 cup corn kernels
0.5 cup shredded cheddar cheese
0.5 cup all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon baking powder
0.25 teaspoon salt
0.25 teaspoon black pepper
2 tablespoons chopped green onions
1 large egg
0.25 cup milk
2 tablespoons vegetable oil
Directions
- In a large bowl, combine corn kernels, shredded cheese, flour, baking powder, salt, and pepper, mixing thoroughly.
- Add the chopped green onions to the mixture and stir to distribute evenly throughout the dry ingredients.
- In a separate small bowl, beat the egg and milk together, then pour this mixture into the dry ingredients.
- Stir the batter until all ingredients are well combined, ensuring no dry spots remain in the mixture.
- Heat oil in a large frying pan over medium-high heat until hot, but not smoking, about 350°F.
- Spoon heaped tablespoons of the batter into the pan, flattening slightly with the back of the spoon to form fritters.
- Cook each fritter for about 2-3 minutes on each side or until golden brown and crispy.
- Drain the cooked fritters on a plate lined with paper towels to absorb any excess oil.
- Serve the fritters warm, garnished with additional green onions or a side of dipping sauce, if desired.
