Crispy Cheesy Corn Fritters
Deliciously light and crispy, these Crispy Cheesy Corn Fritters are a perfect snack or appetizer packed with fresh corn and sharp cheddar.
Equipment
- Skillet
Ingredients
- 2 cups fresh corn kernels cut from cobs or well-drained if using frozen
- 1 cup shredded sharp cheddar cheese
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 2 large eggs
- ¼ cup finely chopped green onions
- Neutral oil like vegetable or canola for frying
- Salt and pepper to taste (optional but recommended)
Instructions
- If using fresh corn, cut the kernels off the cob. Chop green onions.
- In a large bowl, whisk together the flour and baking powder so it’s evenly distributed.
- In another bowl, beat the eggs. Add corn kernels, shredded cheddar, and green onions to the eggs and mix.
- Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and fold gently until just combined. Avoid overmixing to keep the fritters light and tender.
- Warm a thin layer of neutral oil in a skillet over medium heat until shimmering.
- Drop spoonfuls of batter into the hot oil, spacing them apart. Fry about 3 minutes per side, or until golden and crispy. Flip only once for best texture.
- Remove fritters with a slotted spoon and drain on paper towels. Serve warm.
