Ingredients
  

2 cups sweet corn kernels (fresh or canned)

1 cup all-purpose flour

1/2 cup cornmeal

1 teaspoon baking powder

1/2 teaspoon baking soda

1/2 teaspoon salt

1/4 teaspoon black pepper

1/4 teaspoon smoked paprika (optional for a hint of smokiness)

1/4 cup finely chopped green onions

1/4 cup finely chopped red bell pepper

1/4 cup shredded cheese (cheddar or queso fresco)

1 large egg, beaten

1/2 cup milk (or plant-based milk)

2 tablespoons fresh chopped cilantro (optional)

Oil for frying (vegetable or canola oil)

Instructions
 

Prepare the Batter: In a large mixing bowl, combine the flour, cornmeal, baking powder, baking soda, salt, pepper, and smoked paprika. Whisk together until well blended.

    Add Vegetables: Stir in the sweet corn kernels, green onions, red bell pepper, cheese, and cilantro if using. Mix until evenly distributed.

      Combine Wet Ingredients: In a separate bowl, mix the beaten egg and milk together. Pour the wet mixture into the dry ingredients and stir until just combined. The batter should be thick; avoid overmixing.

        Heat the Oil: In a large skillet, heat about 1/4 inch of oil over medium heat. You can test if the oil is ready by dropping a small spoonful of batter into the skillet; it should sizzle immediately.

          Fry the Fritters: Using a spoon or small ice cream scoop, drop generous spoonfuls of batter into the hot oil, flattening them slightly with the back of the spoon. Fry in batches, making sure not to overcrowd the pan.

            Cook Until Golden: Fry for about 3-4 minutes on each side or until golden brown and crispy. Remove from the skillet and place on a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil.

              Serve: Enjoy warm, topped with your favorite dipping sauce, such as spicy aioli, salsa, or a dollop of sour cream. Garnish with additional chopped herbs if desired.
