To begin making these delicious corn fritters, drain the cans of corn and set them aside to remove any excess liquid.
If you’re using fresh corn, simply cut the kernels from the cob and set them aside. This will be the base for your fritters.
In a mixing bowl, combine the flour, baking powder, salt, black pepper, and chili powder.
These dry ingredients will help to give the fritters structure and flavor, balancing the sweetness of the corn with a subtle spice.
Next, add the beaten eggs, whole milk, lime juice, chopped cilantro, chopped green onions, and diced jalapeno to the dry mixture.
Stir well to combine. This mixture will form the batter for your fritters, with the corn and cheese added in shortly.
Once the batter is mixed, fold in the corn and the shredded Monterey Jack cheese. The cheese adds a delicious melty texture to the fritters.
while the corn brings sweetness and bite. Make sure the ingredients are well-distributed throughout the batter.
Now, heat the olive oil in a large pan or skillet over medium heat. You’ll need enough oil to coat the bottom of the pan, as it helps to crisp up the fritters. Once the oil is hot, scoop spoonfuls of the batter into the pan.
shaping them into small, round fritters. Be sure not to overcrowd the pan, as this will make it difficult to cook them evenly.
Cook the fritters for about 3-4 minutes on each side or until they are golden brown and crispy. You can gently flip them using a spatula.
ensuring they are cooked evenly on both sides. Once they are done, transfer the fritters to a paper towel-lined plate to drain any excess oil.
