Ingredients
- 3 cups sweet kernel corn dried
- 1 cup all purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- ¼ teaspoon paprika
- ¼ teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon salt plus more to taste
- ¼ teaspoon black pepper
- 1 tablespoon sugar
- ⅓ cup finely chopped cilantro
- 2 large eggs whisked
- ⅓ cup 2% milk
- 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- 2 tablespoons avocado oil
- Green onions and sour cream optional, for serving
Instructions
- Whisk together flour, baking powder, paprika, salt, pepper and sugar in a large bowl. Add corn, cilantro, whisked eggs, milk, and cheese. Stir until mixture is well combined. If time permits, allow the batter to rest for 15-20 minutes before frying.
- Add 1 tablespoon of oil to a large stainless steel or cast iron skillet.
- Measure out ~⅓ cup of batter for each fritter. Once oil is heated and shimmering, add batter for 4-5 fritters evenly spaced in the skillet. Press each one down lightly with the back of a spatula and cook for 7-8 minutes, flipping halfway through. The corn fritters are done cooking when they fluff up and turn lightly browned and crispy.
- Serve corn fritters with a dollop of sour cream or some homemade aioli with a sprinkle of green onions.
Notes
- Frozen Corn: Thaw completely and dab dry before using.
- Let the batter rest: if the batter is allowed to rest for 15-20 minutes before frying the fritters will stick together better.
- Prepping Ahead: Make up a batch of these fritters in advance and reheat when ready to serve. You can also prepare the batter up to 24 hours in advance and fry them just before serving.
- Storage: Keep in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3-4 days.
- Freezing Place a piece of wax or parchment paper between each fritter before storing in a freezer safe container or storage bag for up to 4-6 months.
- Reheating: Add a bit of oil or butter to a skillet over medium-low heat. Cook them on both sides for 2 minutes or until heated through.
