Ingredients
  

For the Fritters
  • 1 cup Sweet corn Canned corn, drained
  • 1 cup Jalapeños Diced, adjust quantity to taste
  • 1 cup Flour Use gluten-free flour for a gluten-free option
  • 2 large Eggs Consider flax eggs for vegan
  • 1 teaspoon Baking powder Make sure it's fresh
  • 1 teaspoon Salt
  • 1 teaspoon Pepper
  • Oil for frying Vegetable or canola oil works best
Optional Add-Ins
  • 1 cup Cheddar or pepper jack cheese Adjust to your liking
  • 1/4 cup Cilantro or green onions For a fresh herby flavor
  • 1 teaspoon Sugar Optional, for a sweet contrast

Equipment

  • Mixing bowl
  • Skillet
  • Slotted Spoon

Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. In a large mixing bowl, combine the sweet corn, diced jalapeños, flour, baking powder, salt, and pepper. Stir well until evenly distributed.
  2. In a separate medium bowl, crack the eggs and whisk until pale and slightly frothy. Pour into the corn mixture and stir gently until just combined.
  3. In a skillet, pour enough oil to cover the bottom—about 1/4 inch deep. Heat the oil until it shimmers, about 5 minutes.
  4. Carefully drop spoonfuls of the corn mixture into the skillet. Fry for about 3-4 minutes on each side, or until golden brown.
  5. Remove fritters from the skillet using a slotted spoon and place on paper towels to absorb excess oil. Serve warm with dipping sauces.
