Ingredients

  

• 3 Cups Of Corn
• 1/3 Cup Chopped cilantro
• 1/4 Cup Chopped green onion
• 1/2 Diced Jalapeno (deseeded and membranes removed)
• 1 Tablespoon Lime juice
• 1 Cup All purpose flour
• 1 Teaspoon Baking powder
• 1/2 Teaspoon Kosher Salt
• 1/4 Teaspoon Black pepper
• 1/4 Teaspoon Chili powder

Instructions

 

• Add the corn to a large bowl. If using fresh corn, cut all the kernels off the cob. If using canned or frozen see notes.
• Add in the cilantro, green onion, diced jalapeno, and the lime juice.
• In a separate small bowl add the flour, baking powder, kosher salt, black pepper, chili powder and mix to combine.
• Pour the dry ingredients into the bowl with the corn. Stir to mix together.
• Pour in the beaten eggs, milk, and cheese. Mix to combine. This will start to form a thick batter which is completely fine.
• Heat a pan over medium high heat, then add a drizzle or two of canola oil, you just need to coat the bottom of the pan.
• Place a scoop of the corn fritter batter into the hot oil. Press the batter down to compact it.
• Let the fritters cook in the oil for about 2-3 minutes, once you see the edges starting to turn golden. Carefully, using a spatula flip the corn fritters over to cook the other side. 
• Once both sides are golden brown, remove from the pan and set on a tray lined with paper towels to absorb any extra oil.
• Serve the fritters warm. They are excellent with a dollop of sour cream.
