These corn fritters are one of my favorite things to make whenever fresh corn is in season. They have perfectly crispy edges and a tender middle that is packed with juicy corn kernels in every bite.

I love to balance the natural sweetness of the corn with savory scallions and a good handful of cheddar cheese. They are so easy to whip up and always disappear from the plate in record time.

Ingredients

  • 2 cups fresh corn kernels
  • 1 cup all purpose flour
  • 1/2 cup shredded cheddar cheese
  • 1/4 cup thinly sliced scallions
  • 1 large egg
  • 1/4 cup milk
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
  • 3 tablespoons vegetable oil for frying

Instructions

  1. 1

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

  2. 2

    Add the corn kernels, shredded cheddar cheese, and sliced scallions to the dry mixture.

  3. 3

    Stir in the egg and milk until the batter is just combined and the corn is evenly coated.

  4. 4

    Heat the vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium heat.

  5. 5

    Drop large spoonfuls of the batter into the hot skillet and gently flatten them with the back of your spoon.

  6. 6

    Cook for 3 to 4 minutes per side until they turn a beautiful golden brown color.

  7. 7

    Remove the fritters from the pan and let them drain briefly on a paper towel before serving.

💡 Tips

Serve these warm with a dollop of sour cream or your favorite spicy dipping sauce. You can store leftovers in the fridge for up to two days and reheat them in a toaster oven to bring back that signature crunch.
