Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup sweet corn kernels (fresh or frozen)
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1/2 cup grated cheddar cheese
- 1 large egg
- 1/4 cup milk
- 2 tablespoons chopped green onions
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
- Oil for frying (vegetable or canola oil)
Instructions
- In a mixing bowl, combine sweet corn kernels, grated cheddar cheese, and chopped green onions. Mix well.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together egg, milk, baking powder, salt, and black pepper. Gradually add to the corn mixture, stirring until smooth.
- Heat oil in a skillet over medium-high heat until hot but not smoking. Test by dropping a small batter piece—if it sizzles, it’s ready.
- Drop spoonfuls of batter into the hot oil, flatten gently, and fry until golden and crispy, about 2-3 minutes per side. Drain on paper towels.
- Serve warm with your favorite dipping sauces or enjoy as is for a satisfying snack.
Notes
- Use cold batter for extra crispiness.
- Do not overcrowd the pan; fry in batches for even cooking.
- Adjust seasoning and cheese based on taste preferences.
- Reheat in oven or air fryer for best texture; avoid microwaving to prevent sogginess.
