Instructions
Creating Irresistibly Crispy Cheesy Corn Fritters is straightforward. Follow these simple steps to bring this amazing recipe to life:
1. Prepare the Ingredients: If using fresh corn, remove the kernels from the cob. If using frozen, thaw and drain it well.
2. Combine Dry Ingredients: In a mixing bowl, combine the flour, baking powder, salt, black pepper, and paprika. Mix well.
3. Mix in Wet Ingredients: In another bowl, whisk together the egg and milk. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, stirring until just combined.
4. Add Corn and Cheese: Fold in the sweet corn, shredded cheese, and green onions until evenly distributed in the batter.
5. Heat the Oil: In a large skillet, pour in enough oil for shallow frying. Heat over medium-high heat until hot.
6. Fry the Fritters: Once the oil is hot, drop spoonfuls of the batter into the skillet. Fry for about 3-4 minutes on each side or until golden brown.
7. Drain Excess Oil: Remove the fritters and place them on a paper towel-lined plate to absorb any excess oil.
8. Repeat: Continue frying the remaining batter, ensuring the oil heats back up between batches.
9. Taste Test: Before serving, make sure to taste one for seasoning and texture. Adjust as needed.
By following these steps, you’ll have perfect fritters that are crispy on the outside and ooey-gooey on the inside.
