Corn Fritters

Ingredients

• 2 cups Fresh or frozen sweet corn
• 1 cup All-purpose flour
• 1 teaspoon Baking powder
• 1/2 teaspoon Salt
• 1/4 teaspoon Black pepper
• 1 large Egg
• 1/2 cup Milk
• 1/2 cup, shredded Cheese (optional)
• 1/4 cup, chopped Fresh herbs (optional)
• Vegetable oil for frying

Instructions

1. In a large mixing bowl, combine the flour, baking powder, salt, and pepper. Whisk together until well mixed.
2. In another bowl, beat the egg and mix in the milk until combined.
3. Add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients, stirring just until combined. Avoid overmixing, as it can make the fritters tough.
4. Fold in the sweet corn, and if using, add cheese and herbs.
5. Heat a skillet over medium heat and add enough vegetable oil to cover the bottom of the skillet (about 1/4 inch deep).
6. Once the oil is hot, use a tablespoon to scoop the batter into the skillet, flattening slightly with the back of the spoon.
7. Fry the fritters for about 3-4 minutes on each side or until they are golden brown.
8. Transfer the cooked fritters to a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil. Repeat until all the batter is used.
