Ingredients

• 2 cups sweet corn kernels (fresh, frozen, or canned)
• 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
• 1 cup all-purpose flour
• 0.25 cup cornmeal
• 1 teaspoon baking powder
• 2 pieces large eggs
• 0.5 cup whole milk
• 0.25 cup green onions, finely chopped
• 0.5 teaspoon garlic powder
• 0.5 teaspoon salt
• 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
• 0.5 cup vegetable oil (for frying)

Directions

Step 1

In a large mixing bowl, combine the flour, cornmeal, baking powder, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper.

Step 2

In a separate bowl, whisk together the eggs and milk until well combined.

Step 3

Add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients, mixing until a thick batter forms.

Step 4

Fold in the sweet corn kernels, shredded cheddar cheese, and chopped green onions until evenly distributed in the batter.

Step 5

Heat the vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium heat. The oil should be about 1/4 inch deep; adjust the amount of oil if necessary.

Step 6

Once the oil is hot, drop 2-tablespoon portions of the batter into the skillet, flattening slightly with the back of a spoon. Be careful not to overcrowd the pan.

Step 7

Cook the fritters for about 2-3 minutes on each side, or until they are golden brown and crispy. Adjust the heat as needed to avoid burning.

Step 8

Remove the fritters from the skillet and transfer them to a plate lined with paper towels to drain any excess oil.

Step 9

Repeat the frying process with the remaining batter, adding more oil to the skillet if necessary.

Step 10

Serve the fritters warm with your favorite dipping sauce or a dollop of sour cream.
