Ingredients
  

2 cups fresh corn kernels (or 1 can of corn, drained and rinsed)

1/2 cup all-purpose flour

1/2 cup cornmeal

1/4 cup finely chopped green onions

1/4 cup finely chopped red bell pepper

1/4 cup grated cheese (choose between cheddar or feta for added flavor)

2 large eggs

1/2 cup milk

1 teaspoon baking powder

1/2 teaspoon smoked paprika

1/2 teaspoon garlic powder

Salt and pepper to taste

Vegetable oil for frying

Instructions
 

Prepare the Batter: In a large mixing bowl, combine the corn kernels, all-purpose flour, cornmeal, chopped green onions, diced red bell pepper, and grated cheese. Add the baking powder, smoked paprika, garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Stir the mixture thoroughly until all ingredients are evenly distributed.

    Add Wet Ingredients: In a separate bowl, crack the eggs and whisk them together with the milk until the mixture is smooth and homogenous. Gradually pour the egg mixture into the dry ingredients, stirring gently until just combined. Be cautious not to overmix; the batter should be thick yet cohesive.

      Heat the Oil: In a large skillet or frying pan, heat about 1/4 inch of vegetable oil over medium heat. To check if the oil is hot enough, drop a small spoonful of the batter into the oil; it should sizzle immediately, indicating it’s ready for frying.

        Fry the Fritters: Carefully drop spoonfuls of batter (about 2-3 tablespoons each) into the hot oil, ensuring not to overcrowd the pan to allow even cooking. Use the back of a spoon to gently flatten each fritter. Cook for approximately 3-4 minutes on each side, or until they turn a lovely golden brown and develop a crispy exterior.

          Drain Excess Oil: Once cooked, use a slotted spoon to remove the fritters from the skillet, allowing excess oil to drain. Place them onto a plate lined with paper towels to absorb any remaining oil.

            Serve: Serve the corn fritters warm, paired with your favorite dipping sauce such as garlic aioli or spicy mayo. For an extra touch, sprinkle additional chopped green onions on top or add a bit more cheese before serving.

              Prep Time: 15 minutes | Total Time: 30 minutes | Servings: 4-6

                - Presentation Tips: Arrange the fritters on a serving platter with a small bowl of dipping sauce in the center. Garnish with fresh herbs or extra vegetables for a vibrant touch.
